Lead with genuine connection
Start conversations that feel natural, so people remember you for who you are, not just what you sell.
Connection Creates Opportunity · Live Workshop
Build the relationships that grow your business, advance your career, and open doors.
You can attend every networking event, collect dozens of contacts, and still leave with a phone full of names, conversations you never started, and follow-ups you talked yourself out of sending.
The difference isn’t a perfect pitch. It’s knowing how to begin an authentic professional conversation, turn an introduction into an ongoing relationship, and notice where referrals, partnerships, and collaborations can grow.
In this live 90-minute interactive workshop, Julie Marvel teaches professional connection skills through structured skill-building breakout exercises, not open networking. Leave with personalized next steps and follow-up language you can use within 48 hours.
- Tuesday, November 17, 2026
- 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. Eastern
- Live online through Zoom

Only 12 VIP spots are available in total. Once they are claimed, VIP will no longer be offered.
Can I upgrade to VIP later?
Only if VIP seats remain. Standard ticket holders may upgrade for $50 until November 16, 2026 at 11:59 PM America/New_York (Eastern), OR until 12 total VIP seats are sold, whichever comes first.

Is this interactive?
Yes. Standard includes structured skill-building breakout exercises to practice professional connection skills and apply them to your own work, rather than open networking.
