Networks play a critical role in information sharing, social support, personal and professional growth and advancement, and influence within organizations. In this class, you will gain theoretical and practical knowledge on networks - how they are developed, the functions they serve, challenges individuals face related to their networks, and more. You will also do a deep dive on your own network - assessing the current state, strengths, gaps and opportunities. You will gain both knowledge and new skills on connecting meaningfully in order to grow your network and influence others. You will leave the class with deeper self-knowledge and a clear plan for continuing to evolve and nurture your network in the future.
