Most professionals know that relationships are the key to growth, opportunity, and meaningful work.

But many professionals...

  • Feel stuck
  • Feel overlooked
  • Don't know how to connect confidently
  • Wish they could build relationships more naturally
  • Want to be more visible or influential
  • Crave stronger support systems
  • Don't have a trusted guide to help them grow

The 10-week small cohort (8 people max) is designed to create personal transformation through:

  • Clarity
  • Connection
  • Confidence
  • Trust-based relationship skills
  • Community
  • Guided practice
  • Real-world application
You will learn and practice the 8 core competencies that create lifelong, mutually beneficial relationships - and you will do it in a supportive group where real trust is formed.
By the end of the 10 weeks, you will not only have new skills... you will have a stronger sense of who you are, how you show up, and how you build relationships that matter.

Meet Your Coach

Hi, I’m Vern Schellenger, President & CEO of Contacts Count.

I know what it’s like to struggle with networking when you’re trying to land jobs, promotions and clients. When I left my long career as an executive with Dunkin Donuts, I knew networking was critical to find my next opportunity. The problem? I quickly realized I didn’t know how. It felt uncomfortable and awkward, and I worried people would feel like I was begging for help.

That’s when I dedicated myself to learning this skill. Here’s what I discovered:
Networking is more than meeting people; it’s about being strategic, about making genuine and mutually beneficial connections.

The result? I landed my dream job and, ultimately, my life passion.
Now my team and I at Contacts Count equip and empower professionals and entrepreneurs with all the strategies, skills, and tools to master networking (even if they’re introverted and networking events make them want to run away).

We help our clients make networking a way of life. This accelerates the achievement of their goals and makes them feel in control over their career and business advancement.
