Many people confuse networking, a verb, and network, a noun.
Networking is transactional, inauthentic, and feels desperate, but a good network fosters authentic relationships.
Jamie Millar is the founder of Skybridge Associates, leaders in providing peer networks that cultivate cooperation, support, trust, and a sense of belonging for executives for some of the largest, most successful companies.
He's also the author of the book Building Bridges, which asserts that too few leaders enjoy the benefits of regular peer engagement and offers simple design principles that enhance the value of peer networks.
In this podcast, Jamie brings his experience to the table as you're invited to listen in to the conversations of groups of industry leaders discussing topics like:
How does the gig economy and fluid labor markets impact companies and employees?
How would we design careers if we knew people would live to be 150 years old?
How should we think about education when all the world's knowledge fits in our pocket?
Jamie's has spent the last 30+ years building bridges between people and ideas and is excited to continue that here on this show.
