Social capital is real currency!
Social capital is real currency!
Over the past couple of hours, I’ve been taking the Networks and Social Capital for Managers course as part of my #MBA at Valar Institute. One of my biggest takeaways is how “social currency” plays a critical role in building influence and opening doors especially on a global stage. The ability to recognize, cultivate, and leverage ties within and across networks has afforded me opportunities I could never have imagined when I started out.
This course gave me a deeper appreciation for concepts like structural holes, tie strength, and small-world effects. Beyond theory, it challenged me to think about how to intentionally design and manage networks that support not just career growth, but also innovation and impact. I’m excited to keep applying these insights as I continue building and contributing within international ecosystems.
I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: NETWORKS AND SOCIAL CAPITAL FOR MANAGERS from Valar Institute!
