This month’s speaker is Lia Allen, founder of The Business Marketing Gym. Her presentation will be: The Art of Everyday Networking: Because you’re already networking… You just need to recognize it.
Your next business connection could begin at a community event, over coffee, or right here at your table. How do you recognize the opportunity and turn a simple conversation into a meaningful connection?
Join relationship marketing strategist Lia Allen for an interactive introduction to The Art of Everyday Networking. Through a short teaching session followed by guided table talk, you’ll explore practical ways to start conversations, discover common ground, and build relationships with confidence.
You’ll walk away with:
- A fresh perspective on networking: Recognize opportunities to connect in everyday situations.
- Simple conversation starters: Use curiosity and thoughtful questions to make connecting feel more natural.
- Practice sharing what you do: Talk about your business in a way that invites conversation.
- Connections within the room: Discover shared interests and ways to support the women at your table.
- One next step: Leave with a simple follow-up action to keep a new connection growing.
