If the word networking makes you think of awkward introductions and forced small talk, you're not alone. In "This Sh*t Works", Julie Brown offers a different perspective. Many NextUp members may recognize Julie from her Summit session, where she shared a refreshingly honest approach to building relationships that feels far more human than traditional networking advice.
Join NextUp Michigan as we discuss the ideas behind This Sh*t Works and what they look like in real life. We'll talk about making meaningful connections, staying in touch with people who matter, and creating opportunities through genuine relationships rather than perfect elevator pitches. You do not need to read the book to join the conversation. Whether you've read every chapter, heard Julie speak at a Summit, or are simply curious about networking that feels authentic, come connect with fellow NextUp members and be part of the discussion. 📚💬
