Hello there!
This is your Personal Invitation to join us for our StandOut Mastery Summit, the place to improve how you show up for networking events and everyday encounters with people.
After forty-plus years of attending networking events, and writing the book on it, The Way of The Conscientious Connector I can tell you there are some things about the process that, for some people, we simply do not enjoy. That used to be ME, too.
Here are Six Common Struggles that may be all too familiar, just for starters:
1. Awkward Introductions & Forgettable First Impressions
Fumbling through introducing yourself and feeling like you didn’t leave an impact? At the Summit, you’ll learn how to present yourself with confidence and create memorable conversations that make people want to follow up with you.
2. Feeling Like Networking is a ‘Necessary Evil’
Being uncomfortable in a room with people you do not know is a common trait. Many try to cover up their fear in ways that create less-than-favorable impressions. We’ve even identified 7 awkward personality types we’ll share. We’ll also empower you with tools and shift your mindset so that connecting with others becomes an exciting opportunity rather than an obligation.
3. Not Knowing What to Say or How to Keep a Conversation Going
You’ll learn simple yet powerful techniques for asking engaging questions, keeping conversations flowing, and making genuine connections.
4. Walking Away Without Meaningful Contacts
You meet people, but the connection doesn’t go anywhere. At the Summit, you’ll master how to uncover real opportunities that lead to valuable relationships, referrals, and future collaborations.
5. Over-Reliance on Business Cards Instead of Real Relationships
Too many people think handing out a stack of business cards, whether paper or electronic, equals networking. We’ll teach you why leaving your business card in your pocket (at first) and focusing on real engagement makes all the difference in building lasting connections.
6. Struggling with Follow-Ups & Staying on People’s Radar
You might have met great people but didn’t follow up because you felt unsure how to do so without being a bother. You’ll leave with a simple, effective follow-up system that keeps you involved and engaged without seeming pushy.
Let’s fix this, so that you can have more fun out there while you spread your influence to people who want to help you and will be happy to keep you top of mind.
We’ve put together a Live Full-Day Summit unlike any other. By tackling these and other all-too-familiar challenges, the StandOut Mastery Summit will turn your networking experiences from something you dread into something you look forward to and for which you excel.
In addition to learning important ways to change your habits, mindset, and the way you show up, we’ve invited key networking groups and others from around the greater Spokane area to set up Sponsor tables so they can meet you and tell you about their programs, provide you with their information and even join us in the training sessions and breakouts.
At the StandOut Mastery Summit, you’ll empower your presence, sharpen your communication, connection, and collaboration skills, and accelerate your progress—by first slowing down your process to build a stronger foundation.
