What specific behaviors led to her current network?

How were ties

formed? Maintained?
There is no one specific behavior that made her successful at
networking, but it is a combination of quite a few traits and past
experiences put together.
Past experiences that helped:
Very early on in her life, she lost her fiance because of which she
decided not to be dependent or center her life on one person. This
made her expand her network of people and touch or get touched
by multiple lives. Secondly, early on in her career life, she had
tasted the success of networking by bagging a job for herself in
Tandem. This not only underscored the importance of networking to
Heidi but also made her realize that she could network successfully
and that she could enhance her networking skills.
