​Level up your communication skills and sharpen your networking game before plunging into the chaos and noise of NY Tech Week!

​Designed for international, immigrant, and first-gen founders — and anyone building their own version of “friends and family” — this workshop is about creating the kind of network that fuels long-term success.

​Led by Charles Leyte, a master connector, strategist, and coach to purpose-driven leaders across industries. Charles teaches relationship-building that’s rooted in trust, generosity, and real value — no small talk, no fluff.

• ​Make conversations meaningful — even with limited time
  

• ​Craft a networking strategy that’s unapologetically you
  

• ​Navigate cultural differences and language gaps like a pro
  

• ​Communicate clearly to unlock capital, opportunities, and trust
