Build Your Authentic Network
Most people treat networking as a way to prove they know what they’re doing.
Paqui Lizana and Jenny Nicholson built a community around admitting they don’t.
Through Brilliant Failures, they’ve created a space where people connect by sharing experiments, missteps, and ideas still in progress — turning uncertainty into a catalyst for learning, collaboration, and trust.
As part of the continued series following her recent Inc. Magazine article, “The New Rules of Networking,” this live virtual session, Katie will be joined by Paqui Lizana, Innovation Executive and Jenny Nicholson, Founder, Queen of Swords and both Co-Founders of Brilliant Failures.
They will go beyond what made it into the article and dive into how learning-driven communities form, why transparency builds trust, and what happens when people connect through shared experimentation instead of polished outcomes.
What the un-polished, real conversation will focus on:
• Why communities built around learning and experimentation create deeper connections
• How talking openly about failure changes how people collaborate and support one another
• The role of emerging technologies (including AI) in shaping how communities form and evolve
• What professionals can learn from environments where curiosity matters more than expertise
