Are you networking for jobs and long-term career growth, but it feels transactional or uncomfortable? Do you find yourself reaching out only when you need something, feeling pressure to “make the ask,” or chasing quick outcomes instead of building meaningful, long-term relationships? Values-Based Networking teaches a different approach and a clear, repeatable system for building relationships grounded in shared values and long-term investment, so you can broaden your network strategically, deepen the right relationships through strong conversations and disciplined follow-up, and build credibility and sponsors over time in a market where AI is screening resumes and many of the best opportunities are never posted.
Apr 25, 2026 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Relax after midterms with a visit to Boss Bar starting at 6:30 before moving to Parlay River North at 8:30!
