Corporate Connections

Strategic Relationships for People, Ideas, and Capital

Businesses, especially startups, struggle with difficult problems because they lack a diverse and generous network of expertise. Judy is an expert mentor for companies looking to develop power connectors in their ranks and grow a deep, wide and robust foundation of valuable relationships.

Networking is an often abused concept whereby time is set aside to attend industry networking events, work the room, and hope that introductions result in business. Unfortunately, lacking effective methods, networking efforts and opportunities are often wasted in the wrong room, the wrong people, and the wrong approach.

Judy’s perspective on strategic connections turns networking as a task into an interaction style with proven and consistent steps that will lead to high impact, high value relationships. The people, ideas, and capital embedded in the relationships around you are too valuable to not put into action in your business. Whether you are looking to exponentially increase referrals and sales, access new opportunities or top talent, or foster collaborative innovation, Judy can help your business get results.

“Judy is a kind, generous, insightful and phenomenally intelligent leader. She is a first-class go-getter with business acumen second to none and an enviable commitment to excellence.”
- Leni Chauvin, Consulting Client
