In this episode, we explore why relationships are at the heart of leadership success. Jacynth shares personal insights and practical strategies to help women, particularly women of colour, build, nurture, and leverage relationships that open doors, create opportunities, and strengthen leadership impact.

She introduces the TIE Network Framework—a strategic approach to building relationships that matter—and debunks common networking myths that may be holding you back.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about networking, struggled with building the right connections, or wondered how to create meaningful professional relationships, this episode is for you!

Key Takeaways

✔️ Relationships Define Leadership: Leadership is not just about what you know, but who knows you.

✔️ The TIE Network Framework:

  • T – Trusted Advisors (mentors, sponsors, and those who support and challenge you).
  • I – Influencers (people who open doors and advocate for you).
  • E – Experts (those who expand your knowledge and skills).
  • ✔️ Overcoming Barriers as Women of Colour: Navigating spaces that weren’t designed for us requires intentional networking and strong allies.
  • ✔️ Authentic Networking: It’s not about collecting business cards—it’s about building genuine, reciprocal relationships.
  • ✔️ Action Steps: Be intentional, offer value first, and nurture your relationships consistently.
