J. Kelly Hoey - Build Your Dream Network

I know.

You hear “networking” and you think “working the room” or “making small talk with people you don’t know and aren’t likely to ever see again”.

I know and feel your pain.

That’s why I seek out and share stories like venture capitalist Brenda Irwin who is building her business network via bike and craft brewery tours and conversational salons. Niche, invite-only events that are having a significant impact and extending her network well-beyond the limited number of participants who are “actually” in the room.

Read all about Brenda’s network building approach on Forbes.
