How to Network Relentlessly (Without Feeling Fake)

S9: E5
In this episode of the Trill MBA Show, Felicia breaks down Rule #5 from Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book Seven Rules of Power: Network Relentlessly.
Let’s keep it real: networking often feels transactional, awkward, or like something “extroverts do.” But Felicia flips that narrative. Networking isn’t about schmoozing—it’s about building genuine, mutually beneficial relationships.

If you’re only reaching out to people when you’re in need (like after a layoff), it’s time to shift your strategy. Your network is your net worth—and the people who know your name today could be the ones opening doors for you tomorrow.

How to Build a Powerful Personal Brand That Opens Doors

S9: E4
In this episode of the Trill MBA Show, Felicia dives into Rule #4 from Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book Seven Rules of Power: Build a Strong Personal Brand.
If you’re working hard but still being overlooked, the issue might not be your skills—it’s how people perceive you.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be judged by my work, not my presence,” it’s time for a reality check—perception drives influence. The way you walk into a room, how you speak, and how you carry yourself signals power before you even say a word.

S9: E2
In this episode of the Trill MBA Show, Felicia dives into Rule #2 from Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book Seven Rules of Power: Break the Rules (but do it strategically).
If you’ve been working twice as hard, following all the rules, and still feel stuck, it’s time to shake things up. The reality? Power doesn’t reward compliance, it rewards confidence. The people who rise in their careers don’t just follow the book; they strategically bend and break the rules to their advantage.
