Here is a recording of the following presentation.
SATURDAY May 2 at the AASCEND Job Club, Greg Roche, the “Introverted Networker”, teaches people how to connect and build trust in your network. He will share his Connection Loop framework for connecting with people. He takes a person-centered approach to help you create your own schedule, connection in places you are comfortable in, and using your style.
The Zoom link to this presentation will be emailed as the date approaches, to people on our mailing list. There is no need to register for the event. Click here to subscribe to our mailing list if you aren’t already on it.

Greg writes: “I used to think networking was just for extroverts, salespeople, or people trying to land their next job. Then I learned that real networking—the kind that builds trust, opens doors, and helps people stay and grow in their careers—is just consistent, human connection. As the founder of The Introverted Networker, I teach … how to build strong relationships—without small talk, events, or pretending to be someone they’re not. I write a weekly newsletter, lead corporate workshops, and coach people on how to connect with others in a way that feels real and doable. My work is all connected by one belief: when people feel seen, supported, and fairly treated, they stay. And when they build trusted relationships at work, they thrive.”
As usual, autistic adults will share their perspectives throughout the program.
Who: Adults on the spectrum, family, professionals and friends all welcome!
