Organizing 101
In this workshop, we'll debunk common organizing myths, discuss tips and strategies for getting (and staying!) organized, and engage in a brief breakout session. When booking a private workshop, this can be tailored to the needs of the group to ensure that we get to the core of what the participants are struggling with.

New Media Marketing
Would having a website really help my business? How can my current website bring me MORE business? How do I use Twitter and Facebook to attract new clients? What is the benefit of blogging for business? Can I really build business relationships online?
A panel of experts will be presenting the information YOU need to get online marketing working in your favor. With more and more people searching for products and services online everyday, if you are not online, you are missing out! Come to this event to learn how to turn the tide in your favor. By utilizing websites, blogging, email marketing, social networking sites (and more!), you can spread the word and generate new business.
Building Your Networking Toolkit
New to networking? Want to make your current networking efforts more effective? Whether you are a business owner, freelancer, or an employee changing careers, networking is an important contributor to your success. In this workshop we discuss networking skills, the importance of perfecting your pitch (how important is it?), and how to create a networking toolkit.
7 Steps to Building Your Business Community/The Care & Feeding of Your Network
Don't go it alone in business! Create a strong network and see what kind of power and success it brings - increased visibility, more referrals, and a larger contact database. You'll get lots of great information and then we'll launch into an interactive activity - "Getting more for your business," that will get you thinking creatively and provide a great way for participants to interact with one another.
Building and Maximizing Your Network
While along a similar vein of the Building Your Business Community workshop, this topic is different in that we focus on networking events and groups - how to choose what's right for you, what to do once you're at the meeting, and how to cultivate and maintain relationships with your contacts. We'll also start to put a plan into action so that you can create your networking universe. Depending on the size of the group, we have a short breakout session which will allow you to practice fine tuning your presentation/pitch.
"We covered a lot of ground. This was my first ever business networking meeting. I feel fortunate that I got printed materials to study later to build and maximize my own network. The atmosphere was creative and positive and I already have an incoming contact by e-mail." - Tom B., Pasadena, CA
