🌟 About Phase 4: Mastery & Service
At this stage, we move from networking success to purpose-driven leadership.
We’ll explore how to:

Lead with purpose – bringing consistency, empathy, and integrity into every interaction
Create opportunities for others – mentorship, service, and collaboration that elevate your network
Build legacy through service – using your influence to give back and strengthen the communities around you

You’ll walk away with actionable ways to deepen your professional impact — and a renewed sense of what leadership looks like in practice.
