High-Stakes Networking in the Uncertain AI Era
Mike Li
Ex-Amazon Director/General Manager
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 3.5-hour 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. We'll also build your own AI assistant to help you strategize and rehearse scripts for a real event on your calendar this month — whether it's a conference, a client dinner, an offsite, or a recruiter coffee. The assistant is yours to keep, forever.

Workshop agenda
The Mental Switch
Install the Evaluation Flip and outcome independence — the mindset move that dissolves social anxiety in any room. Everyone leaves with their personal version.
Build the News Brief Mode
Build your coach's first mode together. Define your industry + watercooler interests, write the prompt structure, run the first brief live. Walk out with a Monday digest you'll actually read.
Build the Pre-event Prep Mode
Add the prep mode that turns "I have an event Thursday" into 3 tailored openers, 2 stories from your background, 1 graceful exit line. Test it live on a real upcoming event.
Build the Post-event Debrief Mode
Add the debrief mode that converts "I met someone interesting" into a memory log, follow-up draft within 24 hours, and a primary-value frame for the next ask.

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.
