The Reciprocity Effect: Building Trusted Connections in a Tech Driven World

The Reciprocity Effect: Building Trusted Connections in a Tech-Driven World

Presented by Athena’s Signature Series

Join us on November 20 for The Reciprocity Effect: Building Trusted Connections in a Tech-Driven World, presented by Athena’s Signature Series.

We live in a world of AI assistants and automated workflows. But here's the thing: human connection matters more than ever.

The challenges AI alone can't tackle - Growing your career, developing new skills, finding the right opportunities—these all require expanding your network with real people who understand your context and will advocate for you. Yet most networking feels intimidating and awkward. Many professionals avoid it altogether.

What if it didn't have to be?

Many networking events leave you with LinkedIn connections and zero real relationships. You make small talk for an hour, then wonder if it was worth your time.

Here's what we're doing differently:

We're hosting a virtual Reciprocity Effect experience where you won't just make connections—you'll practice the art of human networking in a supportive environment.

You'll learn to:

✨ Clearly articulate what you need (your "Ask") and who you want to meet

✨ Share your expertise and resources (your "Give")

✨ Connect authentically with people who can move your needle forward

✨ Navigate these conversations with confidence, not cringe

Picture leaving with:

• An introduction to the exact person you needed

• A solution to that problem keeping you up at night

• The confidence to continue these conversations beyond this event

You will leave with something immediately valuable by sharing what you need and what you can offer, while also locking in learning that strengthens how you network in the future—because in today’s world, human connection and reciprocity remain the ultimate competitive advantage.
