Workout: A Networking Practice Experience
Is happening Fri, Jun 5 at 12 PM ET on Zoom.



Workout: A Networking Practice Experience is a live, interactive session designed to help you practice the conversations that create career opportunities.

We’ll start with a quick overview of networking and conversation foundations, including how to start conversations, build rapport, ask better questions, and make networking feel less awkward or transactional.


Then we’ll move into Networking Theatre, where participants can volunteer to do a live networking scenario and receive feedback in real time.


After that, you’ll join breakout rooms for Networking Training Workouts with peers.
You’ll get the chance to practice, reflect, receive feedback, and improve your approach in a supportive environment.


This is not a sit-back-and-take-notes workshop.

This is a practice room.


You’ll walk away with more clarity on how you show up in networking conversations, what you can improve, and how to make your next coffee chat, LinkedIn conversation, or professional introduction feel more natural and meaningful.

The goal is NOT more knowledge.

The goal is practice and improvement.

Come ready to participate, try, reflect, and grow.

Because networking isn't just something you learn.

It is something you train.

You know what you should be doing.

Send the message.
Update the resume.
Start the project.
Follow up.
Go to bed on time.
Stop overthinking.

And yet… somehow it still doesn’t happen.



This session is for ambitious people who are not lazy, but stuck in the gap between intention and action. You care. You want to move forward. But procrastination, overwhelm, fear, and mental clutter keep getting in the way.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your procrastination patterns, a more effective way to manage your time and energy, and a practical plan to start taking action right away.

I'm curious...

What would help your career most right now? [Other? Write in the comments]

Most professionals are paying a
"hidden career tax"
and don’t even realize it.



It’s the "tax" of being too focused on hard skills.

You become the person who is:
▶️ Technically strong
▶️ The one who “gets it done”
…but...

not the one who gets
✅ Remembered,
✅ Trusted,
✅ Promoted, or
✅ Pulled into bigger opportunities.

Because careers do not grow in a straight line based on competence alone.



They grow based on a mix of:
Hard skills × Soft skills (Human skills)

That means your technical ability is only part of the equation.

If your communication is weak,
your work gets undervalued.

If your visibility is low,
your contribution gets overlooked.

If your networking is shallow,
opportunities never reach you.

If your confidence is shaky,
your capability gets discounted.

THAT'S the "hidden tax":



You can be highly capable and still get paid, and promoted.

Meanwhile, someone with slightly less technical skill
BUT stronger communication, presence, and relationship capital will move faster.

Not because the world is fair.
Because the world responds to perceived value,
not just actual value.

Here's the hard truth:
Hard skills help you do the work.
Human skills help the work work for you.
(say that 5 times fast 😅)



So ask yourself:
What is costing me more right now?
Not knowing enough…
OR
Not being able to position, communicate, and leverage what I already know?

That answer might explain your plateau.

Which human skills will you prioritize to amplify your hard skills?

You did the work. You got the degree. So why is the inbox empty? 🎓🚫

Most new grads are missing one "invisible" requirement that recruiters are looking for in 2026—and it’s not your GPA.

I’m revealing the fix in this updated deep dive: https://youtu.be/CEpIBmnww6s

Be honest, how many jobs have you applied to in the last 30 days?

If you're in the 50+ category and hearing nothing back, it’s because the 2025 playbook is officially dead. I just updated my 2026 strategy guide to show you the "New Rules" of the market.
