Executive Women's Council: Mastering Networking Part 2
Part 2: From Connection to Opportunity — The HOW of Networking
You’ve worked on your presence. Now what do you do once you’re in the room?Even confident, successful professionals can walk into a networking event, sit down at a table where they don’t know anyone, and suddenly wonder: Who do I talk to? What do I say? How do I join the conversation—and how do I talk about myself without sounding salesy?
In Part 2 of this networking series, The HOW GAL™ Kelly Jahner-Byrne, CSP®, takes the stage for an energetic, interactive keynote designed to move you from simply attending an event to confidently making connections that matter.
Forget the canned elevator pitch. Kelly will show you HOW to enter the room with confidence, start conversations naturally, communicate your value, and build relationships that can lead to introductions, referrals, resources, and opportunities.
Come ready to participate, laugh, connect—and leave with tools you can use at your very next event, meeting, or business conversation.
You’ll Learn HOW To:
- Walk into the room with confidence — Know how to approach a table, join a conversation, meet someone new, and get past the awkwardness that can keep us talking only to people we already know.
- Sell yourself without being salesy — Learn Kelly’s PSA approach to clearly and confidently communicate who you are, what you do, and why it matters.
- Turn conversations into relationships — Make intentional connections, follow up, and create opportunities by focusing on relationships—not collecting business cards.
You know how to show up. Now learn HOW to connect, be remembered, and make the room work for you.
