Here’s a question worth sitting with:

If things changed at work tomorrow – a reorg, a new leader, a change to your role – who would actually speak for you in the rooms you’re not in?

Not who likes you. Not who you’ve exchanged emails with. Who would genuinely go to bat for you?

Most mid-career professionals assume they have a good network. But a collection of contacts is not the same as a support system. And the difference only shows up when you really need it.

The good news? This isn’t about becoming a networker. It’s about being intentional with the relationships you already have.

In this Career Mastery Live, we’ll take a practical, low-pressure approach to strengthening your career support system before you need it.

You’ll come away with:

  • A map of your current support ecosystem across 5 key roles, so you can see exactly where your gaps are and who to invest in next
  • The CONNECT habit – a simple daily practice that strengthens your relationships over time, without adding hours to your week
  • Practical offline and online ways to stay visible and connected, without feeling awkward or transactional
  • A simple 7-day plan so you know exactly who to reach out to and how

You’ll leave with a short list of people to focus on, specific outreach ideas, and a habit you can realistically maintain, even when things get busy.

This is about building career resilience: the relationships that help you navigate change and surface opportunities.

Join this Career Mastery Live on Thursday 19, March.
