NEW! Intentional Connections—From Online Presence to Outreach
Boost Your Networking Skills and Build Genuine Professional Connections
If you’re ready to strengthen your outreach and elevate your career, now is the time to boost your networking skills and build genuine professional connections. Beyond the Job Hunt: Building Networks that Work, a two-part workshop series, goes beyond traditional job searching. It’s designed to help you step into the New Year with confidence, intention, and a more authentic approach to professional relationship-building.
Shift from Job Hunting to Meaningful Relationship Building
Too often, networking becomes synonymous with hunting for a job — but that mindset can limit your growth. This workshop series reframes networking as a long-term investment in human connections rather than a transactional exchange. Whether you’re an introvert who prefers one-on-one conversations or someone who enjoys connecting easily, you’ll learn how to nurture relationships that create opportunities over time.
Across both sessions, you’ll explore strategies to refine your online presence, initiate purposeful conversations, and follow up in ways that feel natural and genuine. You’ll also learn how to track your progress intentionally while developing habits that sustain momentum in your professional relationships. By harnessing these tools, you’ll be better equipped to boost your networking skills and build genuine professional connections that truly support your career goals.
Workshop 1: Intentional Connections — From Online Presence to Outreach
Monday, February 9, 12:00pm–1:30pm
The first workshop focuses on developing a clear, professional online presence that reflects who you are and what you stand for. You’ll learn practical techniques for researching companies, identifying the right people to reach out to, and approaching your outreach with clarity and purpose.
If large networking events feel overwhelming, this session is designed with you in mind. You’ll leave with actionable steps to approach smaller, meaningful interactions that align with your comfort level. Through guided examples and real-world techniques, you’ll gain the confidence needed to build relationships that go beyond a single job search.
