Networking 3.0
 
How do you answer, "What do you do?"  If you're actually telling someone the answer to that question, you're most likely losing business.  What do you say instead?  Come to the September Networking meeting and find out!  We'll start with a different approach to explaining your business, and then we'll get up and practice with each other.  With our supportive environment, you know you'll have fun while expanding your repertoire.
 
Come participate in an interactive, light-hearted workshop with Marian Woodard of The Quantum Business.  She'll help you communicate with prospects by touching the emotions the prospects are interested in (so it's not about you!).  By the time you leave expect to have at least one additional way to have prospects say, "Wow, I'd love to experience that!"
 
Marian works with business leaders and teams who want to experience the camaraderie, effectiveness and joy that come from being part of a highly-functional, committed group.  She returns to Mt. Diablo Business Women for her fourth engagement with us.
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

President's Message

 

 
Every September, our dinner meeting at Mt. Diablo Business Women is what we call our Networking Extravaganza. Instead of a speaker we have a professional  facilitator to teach us, in an interactive format, how to make our networking efforts more effective. Our networking facilitator this month is Marian Woodard of The Quantum Business. I have seen her speak and she is dynamic, engaging and definitely knows her stuff.
 
We all have heard from various marketing and networking experts that we are supposed to have a ready and impactful answer to the question "What do you do?" We get asked this question a lot more often than  we are probably aware-at parties, PTA meetings, soccer games-- not just at business-related events. Wouldn't it be great if you finally got the help you need to craft a really effective answer? Come join us in September and get it done!
