NWEN Breakfast Buzz

You know how much I love NWEN breakfasts. Great networking, great people, great inspiration. If you are a start up, NWEN is the place to be! This month is NWEN Idol where startups get to pitch their idea to a loving crowd. It’s always a fun time!

eWomen Network Luncheon

As most of you know I’ve been a big fan of eWomenNetwork for a LONG time and the speakers scheduled in 2013 do not look to disappoint! If you can’t join the luncheon but want to check out eWomen let me know, they have smaller events throughout the month.

Tara Gimmer Headshot Day!

My good friend Tara does AMAZING headshots. And if your LinkedIn profile or social media avatar is a picture of you with a beer in your hand, you need a headshot. Tara will hook you up for just $99!

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, and around the Puget Sound we all know Summer doesn’t start till July 5th. The good news is that June is filled with some awesome networking events throughout the region- here’s a few I’ll be checking out!

My friend Jimmy at turnstone did a great job with his first Small Talks, and from the looks of this lineup, I know this one won’t disappoint either! Always great food & drinks, and good people!

NWEN Breakfast Buzz

You know how much I love NWEN breakfasts. Great networking, great people, great inspiration. If you are a start up, NWEN is the place to be! I actually won’t make this breakfast as I’ll be heading to Oregon for Father’s Day weekend (and that’s your friendly reminder that Father’s Day is coming up, a tie is a terrible gift FYI), but as always it’ll be a GREAT breakfast!

I don’t know about you but 2013 is moving right along. I can’t believe it’s already May! Based on last months newsletter my May is a little lighter than usual (did I scare you all away?) BUT there are a few great events going on worth checking out, including people continuing to ask me to speak!

Authentic Selling: Growing your Business When you THINK you Hate Sales

The fine folks at NWEN have invited me to speak to startups about growing your business without feeling like a sellout. It’s an early evening event and promises not to disappoint!

Hank is still recovering from his birthday vacation and we have some other trips going on this month, but with the sun shining more and more I’m sure swimming and some dog park networking will be happening, holler if your pup needs you to go networking!
