How Lirone Glikman Is Redefining Growth Through Business Networking In The AI Age

Building relationships at this level may seem effortless now, but this routine is the result of over two decades of global experience. As a consultant, speaker, and bestselling author of The Super Connector’s Playbook, Glikman has committed her career to helping professionals, founders, teams and corporate leaders leverage authentic human relationships as a strategic asset. Her proprietary methodology, known as The Human Factor Method, is a practical system that transforms how individuals approach business relationships, personal branding and business development, on a global or local scale.

From Vision to a Global Movement

Glikman’s journey began in a small village, with no connections and no one to help her achieve her dreams. Armed with ambition and broken English, she took bold steps in the global arena that led her into Australia’s top corporate world within two months of landing in Sydney, and years later to a leading marketing firm in New York within just three weeks since her arrival, without knowing a single person when she started out. These early challenges ignited her passion for teaching how to build authentic relationships and personal branding to achieve business and career results. Since then, she has spoken in 26 countries, ultimately shaping the core of her book, The Super Connector’s Playbook. Through her consultancy and training firm, The Human Factor by Lirone Glikman, she is widely recognized for helping executives, teams, and entrepreneurs create relationship-focused strategies that drive measurable growth. As digital environments become more AI-driven and impersonal, her perspective is rooted in the fact that human connection remains the most critical factor in long-term business success. The Human Factor Method has been adopted by startups, Fortune 500 companies, government offices, and academic institutions, signaling its adaptability across industries and sectors.

The Turning Point: Teaching what is rarely taught

The concept behind The Super Connector’s Playbook originated from Glikman’s global business endeavors, where she experienced both the challenges and the power of relationships and realized that building meaningful professional connections is a learned skill that is rarely taught. Over the years, she observed that many professionals rely solely on their expertise or credentials, often missing the relational components essential for growth. The book outlines a repeatable system for creating intentional, mutually beneficial connections that serve both career advancement and organizational development. After its release in May 2025, the book quickly became a global bestseller on Amazon, holding the top spot in its category for three consecutive weeks.

The Six Pillars to Achieving Your Goals Through Connections

The book introduces six core pillars designed to guide professionals through the networking process. Each step is explained with actionable tools, exercises, real-life stories, and examples, incorporating modern tactics such as integrating AI-driven prompts to maximize connection and results. Rather than replacing the human element, Glikman encourages readers to use AI to support communication workflows while maintaining authenticity and relational integrity.

Here are the six pillars:

• Define Your Goals: Start with clarity - what do you want to achieve?
  
  

• People Strategy: Identify key individuals who can support your journey.
  
  

• Personal Brand: Build an authentic presence, both online and offline.
  
  

• Master the Art of Connection: Spark meaningful conversations with ease.
  
  

• Relationship Building: Turn casual contacts into lasting allies.
  
  

• Leverage: Activate your network to open doors to new opportunities and growth.

What Makes The Super Connector’s Playbook Unique

While many great networking guides exist, The Super Connector’s Playbook stands out for blending timeless principles with contemporary tools like Artificial Intelligence, grounded in real-world events and academic studies. Glikman introduces AI prompts that can enhance communication, automate processes, and strengthen networks. Her approach to networking emphasizes efficiency without sacrificing the human element, showing how to make connections that are both strategic and lasting. As Glikman notes in the book:

“People are your greatest asset, and this book shows you how to connect with them in ways that transform your future, and theirs as well.”

The Playbook’s fusion of AI and relationship-building illustrates that the future of business networking towards results, isn’t just about making connections - it’s about making meaningful connections more effectively.

Real-World Applications: Changing Careers, Companies, and Lives

The principles laid out in The Super Connector’s Playbook have had a real-world impact. Professionals and entrepreneurs who have embraced Glikman’s methods report significant improvements in their careers and businesses. For instance, a mid-level executive applied the six-pillar method and secured a promotion while also presenting an innovative idea, harnessing his management in a way that led to a multimillion-dollar deal. Another entrepreneur, looking to gain traction in a competitive market, used the Playbook to build strategic alliances that helped their startup gain visibility, credibility and clients. 

These real-world outcomes illustrate how Glikman’s system not only supports individual growth but also catalyzes organizational impact. In each of these examples, Glikman’s role extended beyond content delivery. She worked directly with teams and leaders to apply The Human Factor Method in practical settings, offering coaching, workshops, and custom frameworks tailored to their environments. The methodology’s adaptability and clarity have made it relevant to a broad audience, from early-career professionals to senior executives navigating leadership transitions.

A Global Perspective: Trusted by Leaders Across Industries

In addition to her consulting and speaking engagements, Glikman serves as an advisor to public sector agencies, the UN NGO committee on sustainable development goals - NY, top university programs globally, startups and leading tech accelerators, and multinational organizations as Microsoft, Meta, Google and others, reflecting the trust placed in her approach by decision-makers across industries. Her cross-cultural experience further enhances her work’s applicability, with projects spanning the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Conclusion

As Glikman continues to share The Super Connector’s Playbook worldwide, her message remains focused on the enduring value of human relationships. The integration of authentic and strategic communication, personal branding, and using AI tools in a supportive way provides a structure that enables professionals to thrive in today’s complex business environment. For many, the playbook serves not only as a guide to career and business growth, but also as a catalyst for long-term transformation.
