Join NAWBO at Lavender Hill for a perfect blend of co-working, networking, and insights from the local business community!
Need a change of scenery to spark your productivity? Join us for this special monthly coworking series with your NAWBO sisters! Whether you’re working on a project, tackling your to-do list, or brainstorming new ideas, this event offers a refreshing environment to get things done — all while connecting with like-minded women entrepreneurs.
Enjoy a day of focused work with the added bonus of educational programming, community, and lunch! It’s not just about checking off tasks—it’s about making connections, sharing insights, and finding inspiration from fellow business owners who are navigating the same journey.
Bring your laptop, your ideas, and your energy. You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, new connections, and maybe even a few new friends.
Build Better Connections, Follow Up Faster, and Turn Conversations Into Opportunities
Networking is not about collecting business cards or delivering the perfect elevator pitch. It is about building genuine relationships, recognizing opportunities to support others, and following up consistently.
In this practical lunch-and-learn, attendees will learn how to approach networking with greater confidence and intention. We will explore how to introduce yourself naturally, ask questions that lead to meaningful conversations, identify strong referral partners, and create a simple follow-up system that keeps new relationships from falling through the cracks.
Attendees will also learn how to use AI to build a practical relationship-management tool that helps them organize contacts, personalize follow-up, and stay visible without constantly asking for business.
Attendees will learn:
- How to introduce themselves without sounding rehearsed
- Questions that create meaningful, memorable conversations
- How to identify potential referral partners
- A simple system for following up after networking events
- How to stay visible and nurture relationships without repeatedly asking for business
- How to leverage AI to create a personalized relationship-management tool
