    The #1 Networking Tip You’re Probably Not Using (with David Burkus)

    @DavidBurkus joined us last month in People School for a powerful Office Hours session on networking. One of my favorite takeaways? You don’t have to cold meet strangers to grow your network. Instead, reconnect with your dormant ties - people you already know but haven’t spoken to in a while. It’s one of the easiest, most effective ways to open new doors. This is a clip from our live office hours in People School which we host every month! Watch the full class inside People School and join our next class.
