About this episode
Ever sat in your car outside a networking event, questioning why you're really there? Mel reveals the uncomfortable truth about what executives are actually looking for when they join those exclusive networks (hint: it's not what you think).
In this episode, she breaks down the real psychological drivers behind executive networking – from leadership loneliness to imposter syndrome – and shares why 67% of executives are more stressed than ever. You'll discover the three biggest networking mistakes that waste your time and money, plus the honest questions you need to ask yourself before joining any group.
If you've ever felt like networking is just expensive small talk, or if you're in a network wondering why it feels "meh," this episode will change how you think about building relationships at the top.
Warning: Mel gets brutally honest about her own networking failures and the moment she realized she was joining groups for all the wrong reasons. No fluff, just the real talk you need to build connections that actually matter.
Perfect for executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are tired of surface-level networking and ready for authentic relationships that transform their leadership.
