How to Talk About Yourself and Your Business So People Listen (and You Get Clients)
There are so many times you need to have a good TMAY (Tell Me About Yourself), or elevator speech! It might be when you’re at a networking event, being connected to someone by a colleague, reaching out to a prospect, or introducing yourself to a group. Sometimes we even avoid making connections because we’re just unsure of what to say about ourselves. And even if you feel pretty confident about your TMAY, perhaps you sense it’s not landing in such a way to expand your visibility and opportunities.
Imagine what it could mean to increase your referrals and help other people bring you ideal prospects. Join us on Friday, July 30th, when Kathryn Lorenzen, Career Coach, gives us immediately usable tips and tools to deconstruct and reconstruct our TMAYs – so we can get into conversation with people who are interested and need our services.
Come prepared with your own TMAY in case you’d like an opportunity to be coached in a live “hot seat.”

Social Media is a fast-paced, ever-changing world, and for many, it’s just plain intimidating. But it also holds enormous potential for your business, if you know how to leverage it based on your unique goals, services, and audience.
At our June 25 virtual luncheon, social media mamapreneur Alexis Ceule will demystify the social media game. Coming up on 13 exciting years of solo bliss as a social media freelancer, Alexis has seen trends come and go… and some, come back again. She’ll discuss what’s new in social media and how it can work for a freelancer like you.
