In this episode of Positive Philter, I am joined by Duane Bailey, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications at George Mason University’s Costello College of Business. We dive into the importance of in-person networking in today’s digital age, where face-to-face communication and relationship-building skills are often overlooked. Duane and I discuss how traditional networking approaches still hold tremendous value and share stories of young professionals who have mastered the art of making meaningful connections. Tune in for insights on how blending old-school networking with modern tools can set you apart in your career and personal growth!
