Expert interview with Shelly Lombard, Wall St veteran, Fortune 500 board member and founder of Schmooze.
Shelly Lombard went from a 35-year Wall Street career to six corporate board positions, including a Fortune 500 company. She was the first in her family in corporate America and often the only woman or person of colour in the room. Now, as the founder and CEO of Schmooze, she helps women master something she wished she had done sooner: networking.
Networking can be tough – but this expert interview will help make it easier and more natural, focused on building meaningful relationships (that we didn’t know we needed!).
🌟 The powr of networking for a career on your terms: Whether you’re stepping back in, moving forward, or staying connected as a remote worker, learn how to leverage your existing connections to support you where you’re at or where you want to go.
🌟 Conquering the fear of getting started: Make small talk less intimidating by embracing vulnerability and how to break the ice with a simple question or shared activity.
🌟 Step-by-step relationship building: It’s all about curiosity, reciprocity, and asking for help. As Shelly says, “Relationships close gaps”—any goal of yours is more achievable with the right connections.

"So many great takeaways from this, and it’s inspired me to be brave and RSVP a GOING!! to the networking event I got invited to recently. Appreciate being able to listen back in my own time ⭐"
