We’ve all heard networking is a very powerful skill, and that it’s not what you know, but who you know. However, in the military, a lot of this game is played while the majority of the participants are unaware, or sitting on the sideline.
We at The Art of Charm crew first decided to do this show after hearing from a lot of our military clients that “networking isn’t important in the armed forces” — something we just could not believe. In this episode, AoC program graduate Lt. Col. LeDuc shatters this myth, and gives some seriously helpful (and simple!) tips for networking in the military, obtaining coveted assignments, and garnering support for your career on your way to the top.
