    The underrated skill of keeping connections alive Professional networks are most powerful when they're built long before there's anything to ask for. This special Reality Roundtable session steps back from structured challenges to focus on something more fundamental: how we show up for people, how we stay connected across distance and busyness, and what it actually means to invest in a relationship without an agenda. It's a conversation about the quiet, unglamorous work of staying in touch, and why it tends to matter more than any single career move.

    Getting credit for what doesn’t show up on a résumé. Some of the most valuable contributions professionals make, like mentoring a colleague, holding a team together through a rough quarter, managing up so others can do their best work, rarely make it into a performance review. This session examines the labor that happens in the margins: why it matters, why it often goes unrecognized, and how to make it visible without losing what makes it genuine.

    Not every challenge comes with a manual. This opening session invites you to share moments when you had to make a call with incomplete information, shifting priorities, or no clear precedent to follow. We’ll explore how professionals build judgment over time, what it looks like to act decisively under uncertainty, and how to reflect on those decisions in a way that sharpens future thinking.
