The ‘Work Your Network’ workshop is designed to help you give and gain so you can grow. Modern networks are often wider but weaker, lacking the depth to truly support professional growth and collaboration. This session introduces an intentional system for building and sustaining a strong, effective network—a network that works both for and with you. Join our live, virtual two-hour session on strategic influence, accessible from anywhere. The session will begin at 11 am CST – bring your lunch and join us on Zoom!
Participants will explore strategies for constructing meaningful connections and fostering mutual support within their professional circles. Aspiring and established leaders alike will learn how to create a network that drives success and opportunity.
