The Power of Advocacy In today's professional landscape, having a strong network goes beyond just connections. It's about cultivating relationships with individuals who are your champions – those who advocate for your work and ideas even when you're not present. People who highlight your achievements, bringing your contributions to the table in relevant discussions. Offer constructive feedback by pushing you to grow while recognizing your strengths. They connect you with opportunities and potential partners. Of course, this is a two-way street. Be someone who actively supports and advocates for others as well. PJClayton & Co.

I have been a part of countless discussions on how to address complex challenges we face in our modern societies. From educating the next generation of problem solvers, improving access to health care, building economic clusters to allow SMMEs to thrive, building entrepreneurial ecosystems etc. Over time I can to a realisation that the language we use to describe the challenges we face has a huge impact in biasing where people looked for solutions. I have witnessed groups miss out on creating new possibilities and opportunities for collaboration, all because of a leading question that biased conversations. If you want to learn how to ask questions that to guide conversations and get people to move forward together, this Strategic Doing Talk will give you a taste of how to do that. Jack Ricchiuto is a true master of the art of asking such questions.
