In this episode of Leading Beyond the Spreadsheet, host Kris Liebau and guest Greg Peters (The Reluctant Networker) reveal why most analytical leaders hate networking—and how to completely redefine it.

Forget awkward small talk and business card exchanges. Discover a practical approach to building genuine professional relationships that actually deliver value. Learn why networking isn't about putting on your "funeral suit" but about strategically making "friends on purpose" who can help you succeed.

Key insights include:

• Why true networking has nothing to do with business card exchanges
• How to build relationships without the uncomfortable "networking event" approach
• The power of consistency over intensity in relationship building
• Making specific, strategic asks without damaging relationships
• How to nurture connections before you need them
