Atascadero Women Connect

Description

Are you ready to connect and grow? Join a community of passionate and creative business women on the first Monday of every month from 8:30 - 10 AM at the Atascadero Chamber office for Atascadero Women Connect - A wINC Networking Group. 

You'll enjoy local coffee and treats from bakeries you know and love. Each month features a new workshop, speaker, or hands-on activity, because we believe real growth happens when we're engaged, challenged, and in the room together. Come as you are, and leave feeling energized, inspired, and informed! 

Our August Meeting will be a Networking Clinic: Connect With Confidence

Networking doesn’t have to feel awkward, forced, or overwhelming.

This month at Atascadero Women Connect, we’re switching things up with an interactive Networking Clinic designed to help you feel more comfortable walking into any networking opportunity — and more confident walking out of it.

Instead of sitting and listening to a speaker, we’ll be practicing. Expect plenty of conversation, interaction, breakout groups, and real-world networking exercises in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

We’ll work on:

• How to walk into a networking event with a clear game plan
• Simple ways to start conversations without feeling awkward
• How to introduce yourself and talk about what you do naturally
• Knowing who you want to connect with — and why
• How to move through a room and make meaningful connections
• What to do when a conversation stalls or you don’t know what to say
• How to follow up and turn a quick introduction into a real relationship

Come ready to participate, practice, connect, and have some fun.

Whether you love networking or would rather avoid it altogether, you’ll leave with practical tools you can use at your very next event — and hopefully feeling a whole lot more confident about walking into the room.
