Making new friends as an adult is just like deciding what to make for dinner; it’s surprisingly (and almost universally) difficult and tedious, and no one ever seems to talk about the struggle! And if you thought making new social connections was tough, try adding the pressure of maintaining professionalism and it’s suddenly easy to understand why the art of introductions and referrals seems so murky! But Kelly Kugler, Founder & President of Allora Collective, is here to demystify this process AND help us understand how to make and use connections like this to our professional advantage!
Kelly is happy to share her expertise, but be sure to bring your questions so you can take full advantage of her knowledge! Your pre-submitted questions (during registration and leading up to the event) will help direct the direction of this chat, but you can expect to leave with these key takeaways:
- Who to ask & when to reach out
- What kind of connection you should make & how to ask
- How to draft a clear message to get what you want
