Workshop: Network with Confidence

Networking does not have to feel awkward, forced, or transactional.

Students, emerging professionals, and small business owners often struggle with networking in two key ways. Their introduction feels unclear or forgettable, and they overthink conversations instead of being present, missing opportunities for real connection.

This workshop changes that.

In this interactive two-hour workshop, you will learn how to introduce yourself with clarity and confidence and how to move beyond small talk into meaningful, human-first conversations.

Led by two networking experts, this workshop combines practical tools, real-world frameworks, and guided practice so you leave feeling confident using these skills right away.

• How to craft a warm, confident introduction that sparks curiosity and feels natural
• The C.A.R.E. Method™, a practical framework for building intentional connections that lead to opportunities, referrals, and next steps
• How to stay present in conversations without overthinking what to say
• How to network in a way that feels aligned with who you are

• A live, interactive workshop led by two expert facilitators
• Practical tools and resources you can use immediately
• Guided practice in a supportive, low-pressure environment
• Space for reflection, pause, and Q&A throughout

This workshop is designed for:

• College students who want to feel confident introducing themselves in classes, internships, career fairs, and campus events
• Recent graduates and emerging professionals who know relationships matter but feel unsure how to start meaningful conversations
• Small business owners and solopreneurs who want networking to feel genuine rather than transactional
• Professionals who value connection over pitching
• Anyone who has ever left a conversation thinking, “I wish I had explained myself better.”

This workshop is especially helpful if you tend to overthink conversations, struggle to describe what you do clearly, or want networking to feel more natural and aligned.
