Not sure how to get the most from your networking session with the Business Leaders Wine Club? Here are some top tips on networking effectively: 🍷 Be Prepared: A list of attendees is sent in advance to everyone booked onto our events, so why not do a little bit of research on who's attending beforehand? 🍷 Listen Actively: Show genuine interest in others' stories and ideas. 🍷 Be Yourself: Authenticity is essential, and builds a stronger and more meaningful connection. 🍷 Stay Connected: Regularly engage with your new connections post-event. 🍷 Offer Value: Think about how you can help others, not just what you can gain.

Reposting to my network. Hoping to see a lot of my local connections this evening. Too hot to go out? Nonsense! Beat the heat with a refreshing beverage and air conditioning provided by Duke Energy Corporation and the Harris Nuclear plant which has been safely and reliably splitting atoms since January 1987. No brownouts or blackouts in this crushing heat wave! Thank you Duke Energy. At the three outstanding energy events I’ve been to in the last couple of months (the University of Idaho’s Energy Executive Summit, the State Energy Conference of NC at North Carolina State University, and the 10th annual UNC Cleantech Summit at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), AI-driven electrification (what Diane Leopold from Dominion Energy referred to as “datafication”) has been one of the topics that dominated the conversation among the utility executives that I heard speak. The people I heard and spoke to at these three events are Thought Leaders for sure…but much more importantly they are Do Leaders. They are responsible for meeting customer demand, keeping the lights on and the air conditioners humming, and providing affordable energy to all those customers who are living paycheck to paycheck and are forced to choose what bills don’t get paid each month. A big tip of the cap to: (1) the three universities mentioned in this post for the vital role they play in the Industry/Academia/Government triple helix for energy and cleantech, and (2) the RTCC for being such an excellent convener and a facilitator of collaboration and discussion.

Today, I'm heading up to Napa for some sipping, sharing, and snuggling with my ONEHOPE Wine fam. Conferences and special events are always so energizing, but they can be overwhelming, too. To keep myself grounded, I'm repeating the following affirmations: ✨I will go through each conference day with purpose, passion, and persistence. ✨I have great ideas, and I will articulate them respectfully and convincingly. ✨I will make everyone feel welcome and valued, encouraging participation and building lasting, meaningful relationships. Do you use affirmations before a big event? Share your faves! ⬇️ #MindsetMatters #MondayMotivation #PowerOfAffirmations #SelfTalk #NewWeekNewGoals #TryNewThings #WineWisdom

Daily Dollop of Wallop #56 So, I am currently on the big long thing that slides along rails, heading to the London Wine Fair. Now, this is a big event on the calendar for the UK wine trade as well as, the rest of the world. Not nearly as big, illustrious, inventive or inviting as it was when I first came way back in 2008 (anyone remember the Excel days?), but it is still a collection of dates in the calendar that attracts the world’s most influential people in our trade. The whole idea of a trade show is for a company or individual to showcase its assets to an audience specifically attending in search of the following: Something new and exciting Something older but an opportunity for us to become reacquainted with Someone to engage with where we feel an opportunity to change the world may arise The opportunity to learn For me, this is what a trade show is all about. It doesn’t matter what the products or services are, these things are exactly why we attend trade shows of all types. This year, there is a really good set of masterclasses, seminars, workshops and state of the nation style summits happening across the 3 days. I would say, the best roster of topics and people I have seen in many, many years. The one thing lacking here though is the importance of training education or learning and development however, but I will leave that for another post I think! If anyone is attending today and wants to meet up for a coffee, chat about wine and make a connection or for any other reason where an opportunity may arise. Please do get in touch. In a room full of likeminded people with ideas on how to change the shape of the wine world, it seems absolutely bananas to me why we wouldn’t meet up with people we don’t know for the sheer sake of it. Knowing that something magical could become of it. I’m here all day. Are you?
