Transformative Networks: Three Concrete Steps to Building a Powerful Network

About this session

Creating networks which support and nurture you while propelling you forward is far more than developing a hefty rolodex. Networking goes to the very heart of who we really are, how we feel about ourselves, and the toxic messages that hold us back. To build and maintain strong, transformative networks we must know our worth. This involves: neutralizing anti-mentors, knowing our value, and bragging like champs. I have developed concrete strategies to do all three.

In this chat I want you to walk away with:

  • Strategies to identify and neutralize anti-mentors.
  • Approaches which help you know your worth.
  • Concrete steps to brag like a champ.
