Networking Is Life or Death (And Most Executives Are Already Dead)

Stop treating networking as a transactional chore. Discover how real connection, servitude, and a long-game mindset build the resilient relationships that become your most vital career insurance.

Networking isn't what you think it is.

It's not schmoozing at cocktail parties, collecting LinkedIn connections like Pokémon cards, or perfecting your elevator pitch for conference small talk.

Those are tactics deployed by desperate job seekers and ambitious middle managers that showed up late to the party.

Real networking—the kind that transforms careers and saves lives—is something entirely different.

It's a discipline. A daily habit. A fundamental reframe of how you move through your professional world that has nothing to do with what you need and everything to do with what you can give.

Most executives treat networking like a fire drill.
