You know that awkward feeling when you’re talking to someone way above your pay grade — a big boss, a high-level exec, or that LinkedIn celebrity with 500k followers?


Yeah, we’re going there.


In this episode of Corporate Elements, we’re breaking down the real game of networking up — no fluff, no corporate buzzwords. Just the straight talk on how to connect with people who seem way out of your league without feeling fake, awkward, or desperate.


Here’s what we get into:


🔥 Why powerful people actually want to be approached

🔥 The difference between “networking” and building real human connection

🔥 How to stand out (without trying too hard)

🔥 When to shut up and when to follow up


This isn’t about sucking up — it’s about showing up.
