SUMMARY:Coffee with Connectors: Sheldon Paschal
DESCRIPTION:‘Roll Your Sleeves Up and Loosen the Tie: Digging into Authenticity and Intention in Growing Our Networks and Impact’\n\n\nIn today’s fast-paced world\, networking and community engagement can often feel time consuming and transactional\, leaving us disconnected from the deeper purpose of building meaningful relationships and influencing impact. At times though\, the pressure of finding ‘meaningful’ relationships can also seem off-putting because how do we define a ‘meaningful relationship’ in community and work contexts? ‘Roll Your Sleeves Up and Loosen the Tie’ is designed to challenge the status quo\, explore building lasting connections\, find avenues for deeper impact and hopefully leave you(metaphorically and literally) standing on the balls of your feet rather than leaning back on your heels. Together\, we’ll explore how embracing authenticity\, curiosity\, humility and clear intention can bridge the gaps in our approach to networking\, creating relationships and connections that are both impactful and deeply fulfilling.\n\nThrough engaging discussions\, interactive activities\, and personal reflection\, you’ll gain practical tools to:\n\n– Build genuine connections that align with your values.\n– Identify and address blind spots in your approach to connecting with colleagues and peers in and out of the office.\n– Foster a sense of purpose in the way you grow your personal and professional communities.\n– Find ways to specifically engage with our community influencing impact.\n\nThis event is for those seeking more than surface-level exchanges and engagement—it’s for those ready to grow their networks and impact with integrity\, authenticity\, and intention.
