The relationships you build can open doors you never knew existed, but real relationship-building goes far beyond traditional networking.

Katy and Rebecca are joined by Alex Llerena, Founder of Impact Mosaic Consulting, Leadership Broward Foundation board member, and Chair of Women Leading Broward Class 14, to talk about building relationships that create opportunities, women opening doors for other women, and finding the communities you need throughout different seasons of your career and life.

Alex shares her perspective on the difference between networking and genuine connection, why sponsorship matters, what it means to become someone others naturally think of and recommend, and why even the people who spend their lives connecting others need people in their corner too.

They also dive into Women Leading Broward Class 14, a five-month leadership and networking experience beginning in January 2027, and how women in South Florida can get involved.

If you've been thinking, I need to expand my circle, I need more women like this around me, or I don't even know where to start building these relationships, start here.
