Description
The Workshop Objective
In this session, we move beyond the "mingle" and focus on the mechanics of connection. Rich will share how his philosophy of "mentorship as a multiplier" applies to professional networking—viewing every connection as an opportunity to provide value and drive measurable outcomes.
What You Will Learn:
- The Follow-Through Framework: Move beyond the standard "follow-up" email. Learn how to execute a networking strategy that establishes immediate credibility and long-term accountability.
- Strategic Partnership Management: Discover how to identify and foster high-value relationships.
- Networking Through Influence: Gain insights from Rich’s experience in elected board and community leadership on how to lead and connect through influence rather than just authority.
- The "Multiplier" Connection: Shift your mindset from transactional interactions to building a network that scales your personal and professional impact.
