How to make the most of these sessions:

 Bring your willingness to engage with other women.

Networking is a powerful way to meet fascinating women, to learn who they are and what they do. One key to your leadership success is to know who might have the information you need or how to get it quickly. Your business networks are the people whom you can ask, as well as the ones who will ask you. As you talk to women, focus more on what you have to offer than on what you need. It is amazing how we get what we need by offering what we have.


 Bring your business cards.

The low cost of a card will be one of the best investments you have ever made to grow your network.
 Be sure to include your name, phone number and e-mail address so others know how to reach you.
(If you do not have a card, print one up at an office store or online at   http://www.vistaprint.com/ )
