About this Event

Collaborate to Elevate is Always Be Connecting’s keynote series featuring inspirational speakers who explore topics vital to business leaders and nonprofits. Rooted in our core values of collaboration, relationship building, and community engagement, this series offers practical insights to elevate both individual and organizational impact.

In the second installment, join Raghu Sundara, founder of Always Be Connecting, for an interactive and conversational session:

Connect with Intention: How to Give and Receive Effectively

This isn’t just a presentation. It’s a shared learning experience. Together, we’ll dive into the real-world dynamics of networking, where generosity, authenticity, and strategy meet to create meaningful, lasting relationships. Participants are encouraged to bring their own experiences, questions, and challenges to the group for discussion.

We’ll explore:

  • How to give in ways that align with your values and capabilities
  • How to receive with purpose and good judgment, only when trust has been earned
  • Why understanding your own capacity and recognizing others’ is key to sustainable relationships
  • How to build a referral culture rooted in clarity, respect, and mutual value
  • What it looks like to move beyond transactional networking into intentional, service-based connection
  • How to recognize and navigate “takers” in your network while maintaining generosity

Whether you're a business professional or a community leader, this session will provide the mindset, tools, and space to reflect, share, and grow so you can make every connection count without burning out or overextending yourself or others.


Sponsorship opportunities available. Contact Raghu Sundara at [email protected] for more information.
