Your Connecting Advantage: Success Tactics to Turn Life into One Big Connecting Opportunity

Your Connecting Advantage is being completely UPDATED for today’s world of connection and opportunity!

Feeling stuck in a constant cycle of social posts, Zoom meetings, and networking events—with little real traction to show for it? Are you collecting connections without building actual relationships? Wondering how to stand out in a noisy world where everyone seems to be chasing visibility?

You don’t need more of the same. You need an ADVANTAGE. A Connecting Advantage.

Your Connecting Advantage is your playbook for building visibility, credibility, and opportunities—on your terms. Chapter after chapter of refreshing new views on how not to network (because ‘typical’ networking is exhausting).

Inside, I’ll help you identify the strategies, mindset shifts, and connection habits you need to stop networking and start connecting. You’ll discover how to:

  • Position your personal brand to attract the right people and spark the right conversations
  • Train your mind to spot opportunities in the least likely places

  • Escape the “tiny version of hell on a weeknight” networking trap

  • Create “right place, right time” moments—for yourself and others

  • Navigate connection-building as an introvert—or an over-it extrovert

Plus, you’ll get real-life stories, clear strategies, and expert #connectinghacks to make connection easier—and more effective—than ever.

With insights from leading experts like Daniel Pink, Dorie Clark, Bob Burg, William Arruda, Jayson Gaignard, Jeff Haden, and Adam Grant, Your Connecting Advantage is your secret weapon to building the relationships that move you forward.

I’ve often said that Joyce Layman is the greatest networker in the world. Meet her and you’ll immediately understand why. Read Your Connecting Advantage and you’ll understand exactly how. Fantastic wisdom from which we can all benefit.
