Keynote Topics

2020 disrupted regular work and gathering routines, and for many this meant adjusting to life behind a computer screen. This sudden isolation was a sharp reminder of just how critical relationships are for our personal and professional well-being—and how vulnerable we are without them.

As we emerge from the upheaval, it is the time to ditch the old-networking mindset and reimagine what “real” networking can be.

In this dynamic and engaging talk, J. Kelly Hoey illustrates how co-workers, clients, and collaborators can connect and thrive in a hybrid networking environment.

She will illustrate how Zoom, Twitter, and Email are all tools for real networking and why the most successful networkers will be amphibious (blending online and offline networking activities that now need to work in tandem).

Recent college graduates and new career professionals spend an awful lot of time doing what they think is (or have been told is) networking—often with frustrating results.

J. Kelly Hoey is the consummate expert on networking and her actionable techniques and practices will help newer professionals leapfrog from the pack of qualified candidates to a seat at the table.

J Kelly Hoey will talk about actionable ways to close any networking gaps, develop mentorship relationships, and build a career opportunity pipeline.

Young professionals will leave with a better understanding of which networks are the most critical as they embark on their careers.

What makes a great leader? For networking expert J. Kelly Hoey, the question is answered by analyzing the skills and attributes of successful networkers. Hoey believes leadership is demonstrated by the choices we make to develop and leverage our networks. 

In this energetic talk, J Kelly Hoey uses powerful research from her book Build Your Dream Network to provide unique lessons about leadership success, offering actionable insights, practical take-away’s, and road maps for leaders to enhance their skills—and their relationships too.

Kelly Hoey, author of Build Your Dream Network: Forging Powerful Relationships In A Hyper-Connected World and I’m out to change how you think, approach and feel about networking.

Building strong people networks is a critical career and life skill – it’s how we reach professional milestones and accomplish big tasks (so yeah, time to stop drinking the solo hero’s journey Kool-Aid). Also, it’s hard – because networking is an activity that involves other people (and let’s face it, we’re weird).
