In this episode, Liz Herrera sits down with Monique Kelley, professor at Boston University, consultant, and author of Redefining Networking to reframe networking for today’s job search.

You’ll hear about:

• Why being told to “just network” feels frustrating and inauthentic for many job seekers
• How to shift from transactional networking to value-based, relationship-driven connections
• Why introverts may actually have an advantage when it comes to networking
• How clarity, storytelling, and visibility help others recognize the value you bring
• Practical ways to build and maintain connections without burnout or over-networking
• Why meaningful career opportunities often come from peers, former coworkers, and existing relationships

If you’re job searching and looking for a more authentic, human approach to networking, this episode offers mindset shifts and practical insights you can apply right away.
