Executive Women's Council: From Connection to Opportunity — The HOW of Networking

Executive Women's Council: From Connection to Opportunity — The HOW of Networking

From Connection to Opportunity — The HOW of Networking

Even confident, successful professionals can walk into a room full of new faces and suddenly wonder: Who do I talk to? What do I say? How do I talk about myself without sounding salesy? The truth is, networking without a strategy is just socializing.

 

Fresh off her sold-out HOW Conference, Kelly Jahner-Byrne, CSP®, The HOW GAL™, brings her energetic, interactive keynote to the Executive Women's Council.

 

Forget the canned elevator pitch. Kelly will show you how to Sell Yourself First™ with her P.S.A. approach, so you can enter any room with clarity, start conversations naturally, and turn connections into real opportunities.

 

Come ready to participate, laugh, connect, and stick around for a giveaway.

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.
