Thriving Connections: Meaningful Networking and Better Relationships

Let’s be honest—our "peopling" skills are a little rusty. After years of Zoom calls and sweatpants, the idea of walking into a room full of strangers and networking might sound about as appealing as a dentist appointment. We default to small talk, stick with the people we already know, and collect business cards we’ll never look at again.

But what if networking could actually be fun, natural, and, dare we say… effective?

In this highly interactive workshop, leadership expert and author Melissa Majors will help you shake off the networking cobwebs and show you how to:

  • Break out of your clique (without the awkwardness) and connect beyond your usual circle.

  • Use smarter tools to swap contact info effortlessly—because it’s 2025, and we can do better than business cards.

  • Have deeper, more meaningful conversations—even with people you already know.

  • Practice real networking in real time—this isn’t just a lecture; it’s a networking event within a networking event.

This isn’t about stale icebreakers or collecting the most LinkedIn connections—it’s about learning how to build real relationships that actually move your career forward.

If networking has ever felt forced, exhausting, or just plain awkward, this session is for you. Show up, shake off the rust, and leave with connections that matter. Your future self (and your career) will thank you.
