In this episode of Deep Leadership, I sit down with networking expert and author Greg Roche to discuss why so many professionals wait too long to build meaningful relationships and how that mistake can quietly damage careers. Greg shares how losing his HR leadership role forced him to rethink networking completely. As an introvert, traditional networking events felt awkward, exhausting, and ineffective. So he developed a different approach built around authentic one-on-one relationships instead of cold conversations and crowded mixers. We also dive into why connection inside organizations matters more than compensation, why employees leave when they feel disconnected, and how leaders can create stronger cultures through intentional relationships. If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable networking, struggled to maintain professional relationships, or realized your network isn’t as strong as it should be, this conversation is packed with practical advice you can use immediately. In this episode: Why most people build their network too late The introvert-friendly approach to networking How to reconnect with old contacts naturally Why trust-based relationships improve retention The hidden reason employees leave organizations Simple ways leaders can build stronger workplace connections Connect with Greg Roche: Greg Roche on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregsroche/Get the book - The Fast and Easy Guide to Networking for Introverts - https://amzn.to/4nd1nug Subscribe to Deep Leadership: If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe and share it with someone who wants to become a better leader.
