Upper School Intersession 2025

When people think of “networking,” they imagine attending social events to meet the right people to advance their careers while exchanging business cards. The reality is that building relationships leads to making meaningful connections that happen in both personal and professional settings. 

Instead of thinking about networking as making a business connection, think about it as creating a friendship. Demonstrate interest in others to build relationships in the same way you would make a friend through The FACE Framework: Familiarity, Authenticity, Curiosity, and Elasticity. You are the FACE of your organization!

This session will include storytelling to demonstrate each element of FACE. There will also be an activity called “Speed Friending” that encourages audience members to find what they have in common as they learn about each other for who they are.
