2. Increase
your
producCvity.
Increase
your
value
to
the
profession.
Increase
your
value
to
your
supervisor.
What
you
know
is
not
in
quesCon.
But
if
what
you
know
isn’t
influencing
the
right
niche,
then
you
need
to
shiO
your
sources
for
social
capital.

3. Where
does
your
social
capital
lie?

5. My
goal
this
aOernoon
is
EXPLORE
strategies
that
will
help
you
increase
your
SOCIAL
CAPITAL.
• What
is
social
capital?
• Why
is
it
important?
• How
do
we
get
it?
• How

it?

6. What
is
Social
Capital?
BONDING
CAPITAL
VS
BRIDGING
CAPITAL

7. 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.

8. Bridging
Capital
Professional
Social
Philanthropic
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.
