May 2026 Meeting
Kristin Gupta, Executive Recruiter at Pedersen & Partners
During this month’s meeting, Kristin shared heartfelt insights about the real nature of networking, how it flourishes when we show up as both givers and receivers, and when we allow ourselves to be human rather than perfect. Our authenticity, she reminded us, is what invites genuine connection.
She also spoke to the often‑overlooked truth that those who care for others must care for themselves. In a field where we pour so much into people, tending to our own well‑being isn’t optional; it’s what keeps us grounded, energized, and able to serve with clarity and compassion.
