Most people think great networking is about saying the right things. In reality, it’s about understanding the right things.

In this master class, Monica Cost will introduce a simple but powerful concept: everyone has a “currency.” When you know what it is, conversations flow more easily, relationships develop more naturally, and opportunities open up without you having to push or perform.

Monica is a Master Certified Coach & the President of The Core Value Company®.

In this Mini Masterclass, she'll teach us how to identify what truly matters to the people you meet; their priorities, values, and unspoken drivers, and how to use that insight to create more meaningful, authentic, and productive connections.

You'll walk away with 3 takeaways:

1. A simple framework for instantly improving any professional conversation

2. A new way to build influence and rapport without selling, pushing, or performing

3. A practical tool for turning networking into real relationships and real opportunities
