"This morning's conference was great!  It was a wide range of participants on the panels and that was a great way to hear a wide view of options and ideas from the panelists!  Kevin Hancock gets my vote for most open, honest and helpful answers to questions. He was outstanding and his thoughts today were very heartfelt and honest.  Take away the layers of "facade" and discuss the truth of what it's like and how you face the issuers."

Connectworking™: The Savvy Woman’s Guide to Turning Small Talk into Big Business

Join the Women in Family-Business for a fun educational afternoon on standing out from the crowd by turning small talk into big business.

According to a Harvard Business Review article on “How Leaders Create and Use Networks” (Ibarra and Hunter, January 2007), “Networking is one of the most self-evident and one of the most dreaded developmental challenges that aspiring leaders must address. ”Networking is the #1 unwritten rule for success.  Kicking that up into high gear to get personal? That’s connectworking™!

We’ll learn from Susan Dench, veteran marketer, former global training manager and founder of Success & Co., which engages and develops emerging women leaders at organizations that want to accelerate the advancement of a diverse workforce.

She’s banned boring - this is “business unusual!” Experience a highly interactive workshop, with participants learning by doing (and enjoying a glass of wine and light refreshments). We get women thinking – and there’s always a surprise or two thrown in to make things interesting!
