Leadership

When it comes to career growth, the adage "It's not what you know, it's who you know" carries significant weight. However, building a professional network that truly matters goes beyond collecting business cards or adding thousands of LinkedIn connections. Meaningful networking is about creating authentic, reciprocal relationships that stand the test of time and foster personal and professional growth.

Technological advances, evolving business models, and shifting cultural values are reshaping how we work, communicate, and collaborate. For leaders, this isn’t just about keeping up—it’s about seizing the opportunity to unlock the full potential of their teams and driving purposeful growth across the organization. This may be particularly true in the eroding era of middle management. 

Transitions are an inevitable part of life and work, but they often feel like the most uncertain. Years ago, I earned certification in William Bridges Transitions materials, resources designed to deepen practitioner skills in guiding individuals and organizations through these pivotal moments. This certification equipped me with new tools to help people understand and manage transitions and recognize the value and growth potential in the "in-between" times—the space between what was and what's coming next.
