Resilience in Business: The Missing Link
Susan Taylor, WWBIC
As a former small business owner, Susan Taylor learned that resiliency – the ability to face and overcome adversity – was critical to her success. Her story, as well as those of her peers, will inspire and motivate you towards a higher fulfillment in your small business. |
7:15 – 7:45 p.m. |
Networking Tag
Make your rapid fire 15-second introduction then pass (tag) the microphone to the next (you’re it) member who makes a 15-second introduction. The last member in the room to have the microphone wins the opportunity for a 2 minute introduction. |
7:45 – 8:45 p.m. |
Mini Expo Networking
Making mutually beneficial connections is the key to growing a successful business. Get ready to make plenty of connections as you staff half of your own 2’ x 6’ table booth and visit other booths in this organized networking activity. Bring plenty of business cards and other marketing materials to share (typical attendance is about 80). If you don’t have materials to display, don’t worry. Just show up and make connections! |
