Have you ever been told the best way to advance your career is networking? How did you feel about that advice?
In this episode, we’re not just going to tell you to network, we’re going to give you the secrets of how to do it in the most genuine way possible. Susan McPherson, The Serial Connector, is joining us to tell us exactly how to build relationships and connect even when it’s awkward. Susan is the Founder and CEO of McPherson Strategies, a social impact based communications consultancy.
Question: "Working remotely has been great for my work-life balance, but I feel disconnected from my team. How can I build stronger relationships and stay engaged while working from home?"
Since we’re on the topic of connection…
One way to connect with me, Coursera, and the show is to ask us a question about work! You can submit anonymously or with your name and contact information.
