Create a strategy for intentional, authentic outreach that builds real connections with guidance from Carly Valancy.
Nobody builds anything meaningful alone. Bold companies and careers, deep friendships, powerful ideas, and lasting partnerships all begin with one person curious and courageous enough to reach out. Carly Valancy is a community builder, writer, and founder known for helping people find and cultivate meaningful relationships. She co-founded Momentum, a growth consultancy for female founders, and creates products and experiences like TETHER and Reach Out Party that help people turn connection into opportunity. Carly began her career in musical theatre and has since translated her deep belief in human connection into frameworks that help professionals grow personally and professionally through intentional outreach. In this community session, Carly will guide you through a practical strategy for connecting with the right people who can open doors in your career and life. You’ll leave with a thoughtful approach to intentional outreach that feels authentic, sustainable, and aligned with your goals.
