My goal this aOernoon is EXPLORE strategies that will help you increase your SOCIAL CAPITAL.

What is Social Capital? BONDING CAPITAL VS BRIDGING CAPITAL
Bonding capital is about strong 1es and close connec1ons that lead to security. You probably feel very comfortable reaching out to your bonded capital network for help.
Professional
Social
Philanthropic
Bridging Capital
Bridging capital is the number of connec1ons you have across different industries, social strata, etc. Bridging capital allows you to connect with wider, more diverse networks.
