NextUp Cincinnati

✨ Networking isn’t optional—it’s a competitive advantage. ✨

At our recent NextUp Cincinnati event, we explored how intentional, strategic networking can help close the gap and unlock new opportunities for women in every stage of their careers with our key note Julie Brown.

From redefining how we think about our Top 5, Next 15, and Circle of 100, to embracing the power of weak ties and meaningful follow-up, the message was clear: relationships drive outcomes.

We also dug into practical tools you can start using today—like building your personal “List Yourself,” asking more human-centered questions, and reconnecting with your network through simple, authentic outreach (“I was thinking about you…” goes a long way!).

💡 Big takeaway: You belong in every room your experience gives you access to—and your network is one of your greatest assets.
