We’re not just going to TALK about networking. You’re actually going to practice it.

At October’s WINGS, we’ll start with practical tips on how to make better connections, talk about your business naturally, and feel more confident in a networking setting.

Then. we’re breaking into small groups for speed networking so you can put those strategies to work in a low-pressure environment.

Think of it as your networking warm-up before the real thing.

You’ll get a chance to practice:
• Introducing yourself
• Talking about what you do
• Asking questions
• Finding common ground
• Moving a conversation forward
• And, most importantly, being yourself

Are you networking… or just talking about your business?

Good networking isn't about seeing how many people you can hand a business card to... It’s about the conversation.

At October’s WINGS, we’re talking about simple ways to make your networking more effective, from listening and asking better questions to talking about what you do without turning every conversation into a sales pitch.

Chamber President Molly Ostap will kick things off with practical networking strategies, and then you’ll get the chance to practice them in real time through small-group speed networking.

Because sometimes the best way to get better at networking is to… actually network. 😉

Does networking ever feel a little… awkward?

You walk into a room, you don’t know who to talk to, you introduce yourself, explain what you do, exchange a business card and then wonder what you’re actually supposed to do next.

That’s exactly what we’re tackling at October’s WINGS!

Networking That Works: Simple Strategies & Real-Time Practice is all about making networking feel more natural and helping you build connections that actually mean something.

Another WINGS in the books. This time, we talked about being a person of influence and how to better communicate!

Some key takeaways:

Influence doesn’t have one personality type, and communication isn’t one-size-fits all

The goal isn’t to become the best communicator int he room. It’s to become the most intentional version of the communicator you already are.

Sometimes the most influential think you can do is slow down.

Another WINGS, another successful event. We talked about our cups being half empty and I think it’s now half full!!
