Professional development isn’t just about the content - it’s about the people.

Whether it’s a quick follow-up question, a shared takeaway, or an invitation to debrief, connecting with others during a learning event can spark fresh ideas, deepen your understanding, and expand your network in a meaningful way.

In this episode of the Practicing Connection podcast, Coral and Jessica explore how connecting with other attendees - or even speakers - can transform your professional development experience.

Jessica shares a simple, low-pressure practice for starting conversations, learning collaboratively, and expanding your network in ways that feel authentic and focused on shared learning.

Whether you’re attending in person or online, discover practical ideas for reaching out, sharing takeaways, and creating spaces for meaningful dialogue.
