Susan McPherson, a serial connector in the social good space, has game-changing theories about growing your network. She utilizes the Gather-Ask-Do method of building meaningful relationships, allowing for reciprocal value to be shared and created for all parties involved. If you want to have stronger professional relationships most definitely can implement Susan’s Gather Ask Do framework, and your best suited starting at the beginning by learning how to gather the right community.
