During the Pandemic, she had a powerful realization—her background in broadcasting and her degree in social services came together as she noticed a troubling trend: podcasters and Zoom leaders thought they were being inclusive, but their communication style was unintentionally isolating for many listeners. Now, she helps voices become more inviting, intentional, and impactful.She incorporates 35 plus years in broadcasting into her 7-Day Podcast Pro program which was recently launched.In Laurie’s 20-minute talk she will share: “Beyond Words: Speaking to Create Connection” (making people feel seen heard and valued)Discover how to communicate in a way that makes others feel seen, heard, and valued. In this inspiring session, Laurie Hardie will share how to speak so people lean in, how listening is an essential part of truly being heard, and why conversations matter—even when we don’t agree. With warmth, wisdom, and practical insights, Laurie will guide you toward creating deeper, more authentic connections through the power of intentional communication.Takeaways from this talk:Own your story by saying “I” and making it about your experience, not assuming everyone has the same experience.ALWAYS talk to one personLeave your Legacy, Push recordPodcasters are the new influencersTo learn more, go to:  http://www.coachlaurie.com https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/e549d180-d01b-11f0-9ccf-e72eb847d56d-rimg-w1200-h675-dcfefefe-gmir.jpg Why Attend an Exceptional Connections® Networking Luncheon?* Join us in making exceptional connections®, building relationships that lead to new friendships, endless referrals, and powerful advocates!* Meet, Mingle and Connect with like-minded Entrepreneurs in a Fun & Festive Environment* Dynamic & Inspiring 20-minute Spotlight speakers* Exceptional Insight presentation offered by a member of our Community* Learn 6 Steps to Exceptional Connecting & Networking Nuggets at each event* 90-second Marketplace Spotlight Vendor Opportunities to offer additional visibility* 45-second Exceptional Connection® Spotlights given to 25-32 local businesses*Champion Connectors offered visibility as needed to receive a 60-second Elevator Commercial that includes a slide to offer Champion Inside Scoop Announcements.* Enjoy our delicious 3-course Italian Luncheon at The Old Spaghetti Factory in Lynnwood.* Free Open Membership to all Networking Luncheons* As an added bonus you will experience "Networking with a Twist" during our Connection Exchange.* Support Clothes For Kids - our Eastside Chapter Non-profit since 2015* Easy access off the I-5 Freeway* Win Giveaway Door Prizes!* Free and plentiful parkingCostThe Earlier You Register, The More You Save!Pay for Networking, a delicious Old Spaghetti Factory famous 3-course meal, ice tea & water are included.
