Having led women's networking groups for ten years, I KNOW the power that's available when women come together in the spirt of cooperation, support, and community. 🌠 When we Mastermind in our groups, we create a safe, sacred, confidential space where the participate can bring their business challenges and the collective wisdom, knowledge, and experiences of the other women help to offer solutions and ideas. Recent challenges that have been raised include:  🌟 I don't want to be too "salesy" so how do I offer my services with confidence?  🌟 I want to get in front of new audiences; how would you suggest I enter these new markets?  🌟 I'm getting push back on my pricing yet I feel I'm charging what I deserve; how do you charge what you want especially when there's resistance? On March 19, women from around the country are gathering on Zoom to discuss both the joys and challenges of working for ourselves. We will have an open dialogue where it's safe to voice our concerns and where we - as a group of powerful badasses - will help each other. 🤩 Plus...guest speaker, Amy Zohlman Bergman, Professional Organizer and Speaker, will talk on how to be more Productive and Efficient with your time so we suffer less burn out and overwhelm...

Today, I had the privilege of participating and facilitating one of the speed networking circles at the The Financial Services Forum Women in Finance networking event. It was incredibly engaging! I’d like to extend my gratitude to the three men who attended alongside 26 amazing women. Their presence underscores the importance of male allies in promoting equality and driving positive change. During the event, we delved into the topic of networking. As someone who once dreaded the traditional sales pitch, I’ve come to appreciate the power of creating meaningful connections. Here are some insights I shared: 1. Authenticity Matters: When networking, be genuine. Before you turn up, be clear on your purpose and who you’d like to connect with, Authentic conversations lead to lasting relationships. 2. Beyond Work Talk: Instead of focusing solely on business matters, aim to build connections. Discuss shared interests, hobbies, and passions. People remember those who connect on a personal level. 3. Preparation Pays Off: Before attending an event, prepare. Consider what value you can bring to your connections. How can you contribute to their goals or challenges? 4. Clean Up Your Contacts: Don’t be the person who only gives. Reach out to your network when you need support. It’s a two-way street, and maintaining a healthy network involves reciprocity. 5. Sisterhood and Empowerment: Women empowering women is essential. Let’s lift each other up, celebrate achievements, and create opportunities for growth. Remember, networking isn’t just about business cards; it’s about building meaningful relationships. Let’s continue supporting one another! #WomenInFinance #Networking #Equality #Empowerment #FinancialServicesForum Rubin Zajsi Thomas Williams
