Social Capital: The Secret to Getting Stuff Done

Join us for an interactive session on building valuable relationships that help you get stuff done.

You're not imagining it – getting things done at work can be hard, and the difficulty only increases alongside stakeholders, complexity, risks, and your ability to get buy-in. We often talk about the importance of human capital – our skills, education, and experience – in achieving professional success. But the other important form of capital in your career trajectory is social capital – those personal connections and relationships we build throughout our personal lives.

Social capital is not about being popular; it's about the networks, norms, and trust that facilitate collaboration and provide access to information, guidance, support, and opportunities you wouldn't otherwise have.

Join the Ministry for Women in partnership with Kristen Lunman and Natalie Ferguson, co-founders of Powrsuit, for an interactive session on building valuable relationships that help you get stuff done.

What you can expect:

• The joint account test: Audit your key relationships - are you depositing value or just withdrawing favours?

• The transactional trap: Why the ‘I'll help you if you help me’ approach backfires and what to do instead

• How to start today: Three simple ways to begin building social capital deposits right away
