Most shudder at the mere mention of the word.
Images come to mind of sticky backed nametags, sweaty handshakes, awkward conversations, meaningless exchange of business cards and the urge to run away.
Ah the dreaded network meeting.
Why are so many so icky?
Because they stick to the old routine – elevator pitch, discussion where the loudest voices only get heard or a presentation you just sit and listen to.
And somewhere along the way, the opportunity to walk up to complete strangers and say ‘buy my stuff’.
How about if we shake it up? How about if we make it fun? How about if you made new friends instead?
Because networking can be powerful for your business as it expands your circle and enables you to develop genuine relationships.
How about a breath of fresh air in a really smoggy environment?
Where there are no elevator pitches or awkward discussions.
Because I refuse to follow the old rule book, instead a morning of your time which is enjoyable, productive and where only your genuine self is required.
Where you are not just welcomed but celebrated.
This is about showing up and shining because it is just like meeting up with friends.
Fun games to get to know each other.
Use of the hive mind to solve issues and find solutions to your problems.
Hands on activity to learn new skills.
No standing around looking at your shoes rather than talk to someone, not on my watch.
If you are all about true connections and genuine relationships, this is for you.
If you are just about finding new customers, this is not for you. I actively discourage you from coming!
So who is up for making new friends, the kind who have your back, inspire, support and cheerlead you.
