Spring is here. That means it’s time for another Speed Networking event! With Speed Networking, you could meet more people in one evening than in a month of networking events. Plus, it’s fun – and very easy.

Arrive early and learn from Kathleen Watson how "Giving Voice to Your Value: Moving Beyond Your Name, Rank, and Serial Number" will help you speed network! Kathleen Watson is the founder and principal of Client Connections. As a business networking strategist, she works with business professionals who are tired of having nothing to show for their networking efforts but a useless collection of business cards. By partnering with her clients to develop and implement a clear networking strategy, Kathleen reveals how to use those business cards to make more–and better–connections to grow their businesses. Her clients appreciate not only the results she delivers, but also her playfulness and energy. |

Kathleen is the author of Net Profit: Business Networking Without the Nerves, a primer of networking best practices. You can check out the five-star reviews on Amazon.com.
Here's how Speed Networking works:
- You start at a table, chatting with an industry peer for five minutes.
- You give your elevator speech, listen to the other person’s elevator speech, talk in general and exchange contact information.
- At the end of five minutes, one of you move on to a different table and person.
You could meet face-to-face with up to 18 different people, gaining a richer and more extensive network in less time than traditional networking. Don't forget to bring your business cards to hand out to all your new contacts!
Space is limited, so register today!
