As AI changes how leaders work, boards govern, and companies compete, one advantage remains deeply human: relationships.
Listen to Natalie Benamou as she welcomes back Pat Hedley, author of Meet 100 People, TEDx Speaker, board director, investor and trusted Advisor. Pat shares why staying connected, following up, and building relationships before you need them is one of the most valuable strategies to land a board role.
Natalie and Pat explore why in-person connection still matters, how board directors can stay informed in a rapidly changing business landscape, and why curiosity is one of the most powerful ways to stay relevant. Pat shares why genuine curiosity is the ultimate networking tool.
Find out how to build your network before you need it in this engaging conversation.
