Why Your Network Isn’t Supporting Your Great Work (Yet)
📍LIVE ONLINE EVENT
🗓️ Feb 25 from 12pm to 1pm EST
A free, live Zoom class for people who want the right people to care about their Great Work, but don’t want to feel transactional or awkward.
Overview
This class is not a class about networking.
It’s not about conquering “the numbers game.”
It’s definitely not about turning relationships into tools.
This class is about understanding what’s needed for your existing network to function as an ecosystem — one that can recognize your work, explain it to other people, and support it in deeper ways over time.
Most people sense that different relationships require different kinds of communication, but translating that into action can feel surprisingly difficult.
🤔 You know you need to repeat yourself — and you don’t want to sound redundant.
🤔 You know you need to say different things to different people — and you’re not sure how without duplicating your workload.
🤔 You know you’ll need to ask for support — and you don’t want it to feel transactional.
Taken together, the whole thing can feel awkward.
👉 That awkwardness is familiar to anyone trying to share their Great Work with the world. 🙋♀️
In this class, we will move through that awkwardness by looking at how Great Work moves through networks and how your existing relationships can function as a supportive ecosystem.
Together, we’ll explore:
How strong, moderate, and weak ties play different roles in helping work move
When repetition builds understanding, and when depth matters more than frequency
How to think about what to say, to whom, and when — without saying everything to everyone
What allows requests for support to feel grounded rather than transactional
The goal isn’t to do more outreach. It’s to see clearly what belongs where — so your work can be understood, shared, and supported, and you don’t have to carry it alone.

MEET YOUR GUIDE
I’m Dr. Amanda Crowell, a cognitive psychologist and the author of Great Work.
My work centers on two questions: What is your Great Work, and why does it matter that you do it? And once you know that, how do you get the right people to care?
I wrote Great Work, created the Great Work Journals, and founded the Network Effect Lab to help people clarify what they stand for and build the conditions where their work can be recognized, engaged with, and sustained over time.
If you want your work to land without chasing attention or turning yourself into something you’re not, you’re in the right place.
