Let’s be honest, networking sucks!
We’ve all been there; standing around networking events, hummus and cheap wine in hand, working up the courage to awkwardly initiate a conversation, aimlessly exchanging business cards. And if you’re lucky enough to score a coffee date, how do you answer the dreaded question… “so, what’s your story?”
Like it or not, surrounding yourself with an intentional network is essential, whether you’re looking to advance your career, market your business, or just build a support network for when times get tough.
The problem is that networking is often reduced to a pitch-style “look at me” monologue, which is painful for everyone involved, and leaves you feeling like you need to impress people… in 30 seconds or less!!!
Luckily, the time-honored tradition of storytelling is here to saves us from ourselves!
In this interactive presentation, Anna Darian, Storytelling Coach and Founder of Story Boss Nation, will teach you how to reframe your networking strategy and build connection through story-telling AND listening, moving far beyond “the pitch.”
TAKEAWAYS:
Gain clarity on the network you are building and develop a strategy to get you there
Learn basic story structure and how to leverage the power of your story
Craft a personal story to use in networking conversations, connect, and practice!
SCHEDULE:
6:00-6:30 ~ Arrival / networking
6:30-8:00 ~ Interactive presentation
8:00-8:30 ~ Q&A, wrap up

Looking forward to meeting you all. See you soon!
With love,
Anna
