WHAT: This workshop will address the following questions:             1. What does it mean to build professional advocates?                     2.

How can we rethink engagement with our fellow EMBA students, our personal and professional network, and people we meet along the path?

A specific goal that you can clearly articulate and communicate to others. This goal must be important to you and one that requires advocates (i.e. champions/endorsers) to accomplish

A list of 25 potential advocates. These can be aspirational and you don't even need to have a connection to these people (yet)
