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.
