Do you ever wonder why some people seem to be really connected, always giving and getting referrals, an expert at what they provide, and effortlessly attract more clients, while also building stronger relationships with everyone they network with?

What are they doing that you aren't doing?

Believe it or not, they probably are only doing a couple of things differently than you do, but what makes it EASY for them to do it is cultivating a certain mindset about networking that allows them to become problem solvers.

How you help others when you network impacts how often they will think of you and whether they will work with you. If you're only thinking of yourself, this will become apparent to others quickly. If you turn your thinking from me to we, you will excite your network with how you help them, and create a we-focused network, where everyone collaborates to succeed! Here's How:

 * What: How to Take your networking to the next level
 * When: 3 hours 2-5pm PST, November 5th
 * Where:Bravo Conference Room 630 B Avenue Suite 205 Lake Oswego, Oregon 97034
 * How much: Not much at all! Just $65 gets you my attention, guidance, and support, as we work on taking your in-person networking to the next level.

You WILL walk away from this workshop knowing how to become a problem solver for others, as well as how to turn your thinking and networking from me into we, so that you make a positive, powerful, and memorable impression on your network.

As an Extra Bonus, you will get:

The stereotype of the networker is a person who has a drink in one hand, business cards in the other, and an elevator speech at the ready, and ready to move on once s/he has gotten your card. But is that what networking really is?

  Networking is creating meaningful, and helpful relationships where everyone wins. Forget all the hype about social networking or chambers of commerce or the stereotypical networker. Networking isn't just about online social networking sites such as twitter and linkedin. And it doesn't just involve going to a chamber meeting or other type of in-person networking event. Networking involves learning how to create relationships with all the people you know, so that you can help all of them, even as they help you!
  In this workshop, you'll learn how to make networking fun, my process for organizing and matching your connections in your network, and learn to shift your thinking from what you can get for yourself to how you can give and help others and be very successful as a result!

  In this class you will learn:

      * What networking really is and what it means to give.
      * How to recognize a networking opportunity in any conversation.
      * to mesh your natural network with your business network and have everyone benefiting from it.
      * How to listen and make connections between the people who need something, and the people who can help them.
      * How to shift your think from me to we.
      * Fun techniques you can use to liven up your networking groups
