Do you hate walking into a networking event even more than public speaking (or taxes)?
For some, it comes down to how to start a conversation with a stranger.

Let our panel of experts guide you through developing your personal brand (why it matters), your introduction (that famed elevator speech) and how to make the interaction meaningful. This will be followed by a round table workshop where you’ll get help developing that intro and then, you get to practice at the Mega Mingle – all in the same location. Enjoy refreshments and the connections.

YOUR PANELISTS:
Jennifer Chandler · Simple Desk
Aaron Cromwell · One Wild Voice
Bryan Emmerson · Clarity Business Coaching
Katrina MacDonald · Kasama Marketing
