DeBruce Foundation Code Up Project (Module 2)

Networking LIVE in a real KC coworking space, Plexpod Crossroads.

 

Handshake, Eye Contact, How are you, share name, lead with strengths and examples of you using those strengths. (strengths ranked 1-10 agilities.org/)

 

--"Lead with your Strengths" AND your accomplishments. (Not just accomplishments as was likely the way for your parents/guardians)

 

--"Be Spiderman!" Set the intention to connect yourself to as many people as possible. It matters. Don't think you're not important because you're in high school. The tech mentors told the kids, "We want you to come up to us at networking events. We look forward to it." You never know what doors and opportunities one connection can open up or spark!

 

--"The Art of the Followup." Meeting people is great and Purposeful followup is something to lean into. Step 1: Connect! Email is fine but there's no info about you. LinkedIn has a professional impact and it has your background and accomplishments. ADD your STRENGTHS to Linkedin! (Minimum age 16 LinkedIn)
