How do you become bulletproof in your career in this uncertain era?
"How do I survive when AI could potentially replace my job?" "How do I find the next opportunity to elevate my career?" These are questions we ask ourselves every week, if not every day. So how do you become bulletproof in the job market and get companies and recruiters to come to you? The key is to build a network and personal brand that AI cannot replace.
In this workshop, we'll walk through how to build a strong network, how to maintain it with low effort, and how to convert connections into your next career opportunity.

Workshop agenda
Walk In Like You Belong
Networking as a skill, not small talk. Be the chooser, then practice the Universal Handshake, Human Twitter, Poll Formula and Thread Theory to start any conversation with confidence.
Keep It Going: The ACF Formula
Why conversations die, and how ACF (Acknowledge, Connect, Follow up) keeps them going. Move from facts to feelings, plus fallbacks for when your mind goes blank.
Go Deeper, Then Convert
Turn rapport into a relationship: ask about their journey, lead with value they need now, then close with a small ask and follow up within 48 hours.

Who this workshop is for
Mid-career engineers, PMs, and founders hitting walls promotions can't fix — invisible at events, losing contacts to the follow-up gap.
Job seekers, career changers, and recent grads whose LinkedIn cold outreach gets ignored and need warm intros, not templated DMs.
Non-native English speakers in Western workplaces who feel charisma is "for other people" — and need a coach for cultural blind spots.
