Relationships 101

​Relationships shape careers, but most of us were never taught how to build them.

​This Women’s History Month, join The Penelope Network for a candid, practical conversation on relationship capital with Melissa Wallace and Elaine Jackler, co-founders of The People Advisory Group.

​Together, we’ll unpack why meaningful connection matters now more than ever, how genuine relationships form across roles, industries, and generations, and what makes an initial outreach feel human - not transactional.

​Whether you’re early in your career, navigating a transition, or looking to deepen existing relationships, this conversation is designed to help you build connections that last and learn how to nurture them over time.

​​About The People Advisory Group: The People Advisory Group was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: people are an organization’s greatest advantage.
