Join us in exploring success through the strategic expansion of social capital. Distinct from networking, building and developing social capital has been proven by economists and business people alike to be statistically more effective and experientially easier and more fulfilling.

Eleni Pallas (pallasco.com) is a business development coach who has 25 years of professional experience building businesses through partnerships and acquisitions around the world. Within the social capital paradigm, she is a bridge that creates links between people that would not necessarily occur without her global perspective and cross-industry experience.

Eleni plans to touch upon the following aspects, engaging the audience in an interactive discussion:

• The distinction between networking and social capital from an effectiveness perspective
• The benefits of social capital and the way it raises the bar on your success
    Exercise: assessing your current social capital
• Building social capital
    Exercise: identifying ways to build social capital
• Strategies for expanding social capital
