CONNECT

A Practical System for Turning Rooms Into Relationships

CONNECT: Building Relationships That Actually Open Doors

"Most people don't have a networking problem. They have a relationship problem."

Overview

Most people don't have a networking problem. They have a relationship problem. They've collected names, LinkedIn connections, and business cards without actually getting to know more people.

CONNECT is Michael's seven-move system for building relationships that go somewhere, without turning people into transactions.

This workshop takes the framework already featured on his site and puts it into participants' hands directly: how to be curious without it feeling like a tactic, how to ask questions that actually open a conversation, how to follow up without sounding like you want something, and how to stay connected to the people who matter without it becoming a chore.

Formats

Adds the relationship audit and a module on following up without it feeling transactional.
