Key Takeaways

Learn how to build business relationships with purpose, discover how to move beyond "me first" small talk towards strategic and intentional conversations, communicate clearly and often to set and align expectations, and earn trust by delivering value and following through.

Teamwork, collaboration, partnerships, and professional relationships are crucial for maximizing success through innovation, execution, and building your career. As disruptive technologies, such as AI, are rapidly transforming the nature of work and our roles as humans in the workplace evolve, it is even more important than ever to focus on how to create and nurture authentic business relationships.
