Beyond Business Development: Cultivating Professional Opportunity Without Selling Yourself

Beyond Business Development: Cultivating Professional Opportunity Without Selling Yourself

View Session Speakers

This interactive Friday morning interactive workshop will focus on building visibility, relationships, credibility, and trust to create career momentum, referrals, leadership opportunities, and sustainable professional opportunity. The session is not limited to client development or private-practice rainmaking. It is designed for those in private practice, in-house roles, government, business, and leadership tracks who understand that authentic professional relationships drive long-term career resilience, client opportunities and future options regardless of role or employer.

Building on a pre-conference Zoom session, attendees will use the Women’s IP Forum itself as a live relationship-building exercise, then reconvene Friday morning to debrief what worked, discuss what felt awkward, what surprised them, and what concrete next steps they can take to convert first conversations into durable professional relationships.
