The Network and My Future

Jason Womack

"How will I know what the future will bring?". I remember asking my coach, Martha, that question in October of 1997. More than 20 years ago - in that moment, asking that question - my future changed.

How Managers Can Make Casual Networking Events More Inclusive

However, often, I would return to work later in the week to find the decisions that we had initially agreed upon were moot, and the manager was moving forward in a completely new direct
