Most jobs are never listed, and nearly 80% of new opportunities come from referrals. But what if networking as we know it is broken? In this episode, Amy P. Vaughan — creative entrepreneur, author, and CEO of Together Digital — reveals why introverts often make the best networkers, how to close the “networking gap,” and what really builds meaningful business relationships.
Amy shares her journey from aspiring medical professional to global brand creative director, and now to building communities that help women thrive in business. We cover the hidden power of listening, why the current networking playbook is outdated, and practical ways leaders can design inclusive environments that foster real connection.
If you’ve ever felt drained by networking events or questioned how to build authentic business relationships, this episode will give you a new perspective.
