About This Event

Most professionals are told to **network more**. Meet more people. Grow your connections. Build your personal brand. But there’s a bigger question: **What are we actually creating with the people we meet?** For this NST Professionals Discussion Circle, we’re going beyond exchanging contacts and adding people on LinkedIn. We’ll explore what can happen when professionals bring together their **different skills, knowledge, networks, resources and perspectives** — and whether trying to do everything ourselves can sometimes limit what we are able to create. ### This won’t be your usual sit-down discussion. Expect an **interactive challenge**, teamwork, interesting decisions, a little friendly competition and a chance to put collaboration into practice before we unpack what happened. We’ll get into questions like: * Are professionals sometimes too focused on being self-sufficient? * Can collaboration help us create opportunities that would be difficult to create alone? * What makes someone a valuable person to collaborate with? * Why do so many professional connections never become anything more? * What gets in the way — trust, competition, control, ego or fear of sharing opportunities? * How can we move from simply knowing people to actually **building with people**? * And what role can collaboration play in creating value, opportunity and wealth? ### Who is this for? Professionals who want more from networking than: **“What do you do?”** followed by: **“Let’s connect on LinkedIn.”** If you enjoy meeting new people, exchanging ideas, thinking differently and getting involved rather than just listening, this one is for you. There may also be a few surprises — and some souvenirs up for grabs. 👀 Come ready to **contribute, collaborate and see what happens when the right people bring the right strengths together.**
