Session Description

Many professionals feel like they’re “always working on the search” but can’t point to real progress. This session combines Run a disciplined search and Reach into real relationships from the 6R Method. You’ll design a realistic weekly rhythm—time blocks, tools, and simple tracking—so you can answer, “What did I do this week to move forward?” with confidence. Then we’ll turn networking from something you avoid into structured conversations: who to contact, how to ask for time, what to say in informational interviews, and how to follow up without feeling pushy or salesy.
