Being a 'nervous networker' is the main reason why so many business women avoid networking. If networking gives you butterflies you aren't alone. Being nervous is normal, but don't let it stop you! The support you'll receive will be second to none. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a Regional Director and share their ethos and aims to help other business women succeed. Come and try out a network that supports you to become a networking butterfly through our training sessions and masterclasses and the support of other business women. #networkingnerves #support #businesswomen #authenticconnections #professionalnetworking

Empowerment begins with support! Dive into a wealth of resources and tips on networking and uplifting other women in your professional journey.  Attend Women-Focused Events: Look for networking events, conferences, or workshops specifically tailored for women in your industry. These provide excellent opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals and build a supportive network. Be Genuine and Approachable: When networking, be authentic and approachable. Show genuine interest in others by asking about their experiences, challenges, and goals. Building meaningful connections often starts with sincere conversations. Offer Help and Guidance: Actively look for ways to support other women in your network. Offer mentorship, share resources, or provide guidance based on your own experiences. Paying it forward creates a ripple effect of empowerment. Create a Support System: Form or join a support group or network of women in your field. These communities can offer valuable insights, advice, and encouragement, especially during challenging times. #Networking #Empowerment #ProfessionalDevelopment #WomenInBusiness

One of my favorite activities to co-chair is our local Women in Business initiative breakfast meetings. Not only are these meetings educational, but they serve three clear purposes for entrepreneurs and women in business: 1) Comradery - it's the power of "You're not alone!" 2) Empathy - "I've been there!" and 3) Partnership - "Let's do it together." In this photo with our program sponsor for the year, I see a future of possibilities for the visionary business women in our community. If you're not connected with your local Chamber of Commerce, you are missing an incredible opportunity. What's your favorite part of participating in a local networking group? #networking #network #chamberofcommerce #partnership #womeninbusiness #womenentrepreneurs

In my experience when I go networking the majority of the attendees are males. And it's SO impressive to see them talk about what they do, exchange numbers and see how they can support each other. Unfortunately, women don't do that!! One, we are afraid to go out, alone, and meet business people. I teach my girls to go networking, identify that person’s personality and connect with them. Networking is their favorite thing to do. #women #womeninsales #netoworking #sales

Women can help women thrive in the workplace. Call to Action #2: Network with other women. Women are not competition. Women are allies. At least most of them are. Network with other women to build your network, share insights, collaborate, and to provide support to each other. "In the world of business, networking is the cornerstone of success. Building strong, authentic connections can open doors and create endless opportunities." - Arianna Huffington You can reach out to women at work, through volunteering, or through associations, at conferences, webinars, or at events. Reach out to women that have interests different than your own to expand your network even further. What’s the next networking event you have coming up – please share in the comments? Can you invite another woman? Who comes to mind? Are there women you’d like to connect with each other – make the connection! Let’s keep helping each other broaden our network. #womensupportingwomen #careercoaching #adhdcoaching #neurodivergentcoaching #leadershipcoaching

Network, inspire, support one another. That’s what we’re all about at Women Together In Business. Are you a female running your own small business, apart of a small business or looking to start your own business? Then you’ve come to the right place 😊! We run a monthly networking event, we alternate between pure good networking (chin wag!) and having a speaker followed by networking. We will be announcing our next event soon so watch this space!

Does the thought of networking make you cringe? You're not alone. Many of us hear the word "networking" and immediately think of awkward small talk and forced interactions. At Thresholds, when we ask women about their feelings on networking, we often hear: "It feels awkward," "I don’t have the time," "I don’t think I have anything to offer," and "I don’t know how to start." Our upcoming Women's Networking Event on Wed 26 June is the perfect opportunity to expand your professional network and connect with like-minded women. If you tend to avoid networking, why not give it a try? Thresholds' facilitators ensure these sessions are fun and relaxed, helping you make new contacts while having a great time.
