  • Mapping your network strategically, using frameworks like the Paradox of Weak Connections and the Peloton Strategy
  • Guidance on fostering meaningful conversations that create opportunities
  • Tips for adding genuine value to the conversation, especially in the early stages when you might wonder what you have to offer
