So there really isn't an understanding of what a network looks like. And so helping a graduate understand that if you are in a certain domain, you need to go out and start speaking to people in that domain. Giving them the tools to create a network, teach them the questions to ask, send them on their way and remind them this is a journey, not a destination. The process is the important things. I think that's the first real key as a new graduate as you have to accept the fact that networking is the way that you will both determine what you want to do, but also. How to ensure that you can land that first job. And we all know that it is a journey, but we also don't prioritize it a lot of times to do it for ourselves. And it's not about what am I going to get out of this? It's like, what am I going to give? And so helping them to tease out what did you learn? What did you learn about the company? Because they are shaping what is that role look like? Because they may not even know. And these helps have discovery on this side of the table as well.

Great stuff James and Susie. Agree this is so important and can easily be ignored or de-prioritized over one's career... There both an art science behind it, but exercise thst muscle and it will get stronger!

What are your leadership plans and goals? For me, it has to be known as someone who is kind yet fierce, bold, and practical at the same time. But do I wait for these elements to just seep into me? No, I know I need to work to earn them and later embody them to assist others in their corporate journeys. I notice this is what is lacking in the current generation. The fact that they want to appear a certain way, but they hardly embody these elements. They would just rather pretend, and that's honestly quite sad. When did the commercial sector become an area of pretense and marketing? Earn those elements. Exude that power and help guide others as well. That's how you help you and others. What do you think, folks? #leadershipgoals #power #humble #web3 #blockchain

Seven the magic number of the day ! You typically have about 7 seconds to grab someone's attention and make them listen. In that brief window, your message needs to be compelling enough to engage them further, make every second count. Much love Molly and Kate #attention #blockchain #leaders #CEO #intergenerational

Building a high-performing team isn't about collecting individual stars- it's about creating a 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓 team. Especially in the blockchain space, where things move so quickly, this has been one of the biggest lessons I've learned. The best teams aren't afraid to make decisions, take risks, and yes, make mistakes. That's where the real growth happens. #Blockchain #Leadership #TeamBuilding
