Last night, I had the pleasure of attending my first WNORTH event—a summer networking soirée. WNORTH is an incredible membership network dedicated to closing the gender power gap by elevating women into leadership roles. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the difference from a typical networking event. With a small, intimate group of around 30 women, we delved into "The Power of Connections: Evolution of Professional Friendships." The panel shared so many valuable insights about the importance of cultivating genuine friendships at work and within our networks, rather than simply engaging in strategic networking. It was a reminder that the true value of these connections lies in the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and collaboration—not just the pursuit of sales metrics. One of the standout moments for me was when someone mentioned the power of "looking for small moments that create possibilities." It’s about recognizing that the little things we do for each other today could open doors tomorrow, often in ways we can't predict. That's the beauty of a reciprocal network—being there for one another when the time is right. #womeninleadership #networking #community
