MenuAuthentic Relationship Building and Networking in the Connection Economy
Created 11 years ago in Other
I write a popular Forbes column on relationship building where I've had the opportunity to interview dozens of the world's to relationship builders and researchers.
Through my organization, I have helped to convene the world's top young entrepreneurs and leaders in society including college presidents, congressmen, senators, senior staff in the administration, billionaire entrepreneurs, and more.
