Network In Action The Woodlands Texas

Each month, I host a Personal Development class for my Network in Action members. I LOVE this class so much. We have a different speaker every month and we talk about everything from goal setting to time management, conflict resolution, workplace culture, leadership, and today, how to become more mentally fit. Wayne Basist, mental fitness coach showed us how we can stop self sabotaging and make real lasting changes in the way we think, perceive and react in every situation. Amazing stuff!!! Why do I host this class each month? Because I believe with all my heart, that we can’t be good businesspeople, salespeople or employees if we aren’t constantly working on ourselves to be good people FIRST! If you’re looking for a networking group that cares about not only helping you grow your business, but also grow as a person, NIA The Woodlands just might be for you! Send me a DM and I’ll be happy to share with you the NIA difference. ❤️

Really excited to share with you my latest interview with relationship expert, Lauren Zoeller, on her show, The Aligned Love Podcast! We talked about how to expand your network, tips on networking for introverts, and why it’s ok to ask for help, plus a whole lot more. Hope you enjoy! https://lnkd.in/g5kF48-f

I know it’s summer, but remember the 1st day of school? Those butterflies you’d get when walking into a new classroom? The nervousness you felt wondering if any of your friends would be in your class? The relief you felt if you saw just ONE face you knew! You know what…I still feel all of those things every time I go to a networking event by myself! It’s why I always like to go with a friend, because then at least I know I’ll know one person there! I’ve learned over the years how to walk into a room where I don’t know anyone and it’s become so much easier over the years. I’ve been a student of networking for almost 20 years now ( I started when I was 12! 😉). It is a skill and practice that can be honed and become easier and more natural as you put your skills to use. I also learned I had to have a plan for every event I attended. That way, I could I always feel that I used my time wisely. If you find networking intimidating or you just want to do it better, please check out my class, Beyond Business Cards! I’m doing a one day intensive of this class this Thursday, June 27th, and I have a just a few spots left!

“I don’t like “small talk”, says my introvert friend. “I LOVE networking because I love people and I love to talk.”, says my extrovert friend. So…who IS the better networker?! The answer, neither, because BOTH can be great networkers! How does that work? First of all, networking is not about small talk, it’s about building real relationships. So, for the introvert, you don’t have to talk, you just need to have couple of good questions planned to ask the person to whom you are speaking and then LISTEN! And, introverts are almost always exceptional listeners. Meaning….networking can play to one of your greatest strengths! Extroverts do love to talk, but have to be careful about talking too much and not doing enough listening! Your strength as an extrovert is that the more people you meet, the better. You can very quickly grow an extensive and eclectic network and enjoy doing it, as long as you go in with a plan and execute it. So, no more excuses! Introvert or Extrovert, you can network effectively and with ease. If this seems a bit out of your reach and you don’t know what your networking plan is, I’d love to help you.

Have you ever heard someone say, “Networking doesn’t work for me?” Or, maybe you have uttered these words yourself? Every time I hear someone say that, it physically hurts me. Why?….because I know that networking does work, it just doesn’t work the same way for everyone. What I have come to understand, is, networking works when you learn how to network in a way that is comfortable and meaningful for YOU! This discovery has led me to develop a 4 part course on networking strategy. It’s called, Beyond Business Cards: A Blueprint for Networking Success. This class will begin on April 23rd. This will be a 4 part IN PERSON course. This course is for you if: ✅You don’t really like to network, but you know you NEED to network. ✅You still aren’t sure what to say when it’s your turn to do your 60 second intro or elevator pitch. ✅You hate cold calling and don’t ever want to do it again!!! ✅You get tongue tied and nervous when you have to stand up and introduce yourself. ✅You feel stressed and anxious when walking into a room where you don’t know anyone. ✅You meet a lot of people networking, but seem unable to make those contacts turn into real relationships that help your bottom line. The payoffs: ⭐️Never cold call again! ⭐️Learn to confidently connect with everyone you meet. ⭐️Turn that stack of business cards on your desk into real relationships that lead to solid business. ⭐️A 60 second elevator pitch that makes people remember who you are. ⭐️Become someone that everyone knows when your name is mentioned! ⭐️Network in a way that is comfortable and fun for YOU!
