Networking & Effective Relationship Building - Fireside Chat

Struggle with small talk, follow-through, or feeling overwhelmed at events?

You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. In an era of excessive screen time, social media bots, and AI agents, in-person is the most effective way to land new business or careers.

In this insightful and refreshingly real fireside chat, Dave Delaney shares practical, low-pressure strategies for building authentic professional relationships… even if traditional networking feels exhausting or fake.

Always talk to strangers.

Networking for introverts.

Who it’s for:

Professionals who want to grow their networks so they can have forward-moving careers and business success without the pressure to "perform," sell, or fake their way through awkward conversations, what Dave calls icky networking.
