The Leadership Lounge // Building your Career Networks

The Leadership Lounge is our signature monthly event series for ambitious professional women to connect in small groups to connect, reflect and grow in real, human conversations that go beyond surface-level networking.

Cultivating Your Career Connections

The October edition of The Leadership Lounge

Confidence isn’t built in isolation - it grows through the people who support and back you. Behind every thriving career is a network of mentors, sponsors, and advocates who open doors, champion your ideas, and help you step into your strengths.

In this month’s Leadership Lounge, we’ll explore how to build your career networks with intention. This isn’t about collecting contacts or forced networking — it’s about cultivating authentic relationships that fuel both your confidence and your career growth.

We'll explore:

✦ The difference between mentorship, sponsorship, and advocacy — and how each can accelerate your path.

✦ Practical ways to grow career networks internally (and externally) without it feeling transactional.

✦How to identify and nurture connections that amplify your confidence and credibility.

✦The importance of reciprocity & how investing in others strengthens the whole network.

What to expect:

✦ Deep conversations (not surface-level chatter)

✦ Personal insights and practical tools

✦ A room full of women who just get it

✦ Snacks, drinks, and the kind of energy that stays with you

You’ll walk away with:

✦ Clarity on the different roles of mentors, sponsors, and advocates — and how each one can shape your career.

✦ Practical strategies for building and strengthening your professional networks at work.

✦ Confidence to design your own “support crew” and start putting those relationships into action.

✦ Insights from Work Besties in the room who’ve built (and leaned on) their networks for growth.
