Get ready to grow and cherish your network in a way that doesn’t feel sales-y, inauthentic, or gross (even when networking means sitting at home!). You'll learn how to create meaningful, authentic connections on Zoom, the mindset you need to show up confident and attract the right collaborators, and easy ways to keep the convo going with your new contacts so you don’t lose momentum. Also: Why it’s never too late for gratitude – thank you is the new hello!

Brian Patacca
Brian Patacca helps creative people get what they want without suffering. He is a life, career, and business coach; a graduate of Northwestern University; Coaches Training Institute; Marianne Willamson’s Teaching the Teachers; and completed the Erhard Seminars Training (at age 8). He started life wanting an older sister and found them in Anne Lamott, Brené Brown, Pema Chödrön, and Elizabeth Gilbert. His clients include Tony Award-winners, Broadway stars, hometown bakers, world-class photographers, and solo-preneurs. He has appeared in corporate and collegiate forums alike as a guest speaker, host, and teacher. He works with creative people one-on-one, in small groups, in online courses, and through his highly engaged Facebook groups. When Brian’s not helping people find their purpose, his nose is buried in A Course a Miracles – he’s studying to become a non-denominational reverend in 2021.
