Hi! As communicators we spend our time crafting stories for executives and putting others in the spotlight. So, it’s easy to forget that we are also a brand, with unique voices and expertise that we bring to the organizations and clients (and of course, ultimately, the patients) we serve. Our Q3 Leadership Lab Masterclass is your reminder to set some time aside to think about your own network – how to build it and how to lean on it. Because the best time to do both of these things is before you need it. Networking Redefined: Lead With the Value You Can Contribute📅 Wednesday, September 10, 2025 @ 12–1 p.m. ET / 9-10 a.m. PT / 5-6 p.m. BST 💻 Free and exclusive for T2B Pro & Student Members only ➡️ RSVP here​ In this interactive virtual workshop, Monique Kelley, Associate Professor of Strategic Communication at Boston University and CEO of Monique Kelley Consulting, will share how she’s built her own thriving consulting practice by leaning on her relationships, bringing in new business through a strong referral network, and building her own brand by authentic storytelling. What We’ll Cover:
Whether you love networking, dread it, or just want to approach it more strategically, this session will give you new tools and confidence to build and show up for your network.

Hi! Our August Comm Convo was a wide-ranging discussion about how comms teams can effectively operate in the life science ecosystem. Replay available here.

Hi! Our recent seminar with Fullintel (a T2B Pro Perks partner) dug into a question we’re all facing right now: What happens when algorithms, not editors, determine what audiences see?
