In today's episode, I get to speak with Ellie Turner Coughlin, a TEDx Speaker, Event Host, Connector, and Co-founder of Home of Connection.

Ellie is on a mission to transform the way we connect, curating thoughtful events and workshops that foster meaningful connections and create spaces for digital detoxing and introvert-friendly networking. Her innovative approach aims to change the perception and experience of networking, making it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

We dive into common misconceptions around networking and how to reframe it as a less daunting and awkward activity. Ellie shares her expertise, offering practical tips and insights that make networking something you'll actually want to try. She provides invaluable question prompts that go beyond the typical "So, what do you do?" and offers strategies on how to open conversations and reach out to senior stakeholders in a genuine, appreciative manner.
