Hello Everyone:
Thank you to all who attended EWN's Kickoff event last Thursday, January 21st at IBM Corporation in Oak Brook Terrace, IL. It was simply amazing!!! We had the pleasure of hearing Vickie Austin (Founder of CHOICES Worldwide, Inc.) talk on the topic of Effective Self Promotion in the 21st Century as we networked and met new contacts and enjoyed the company of those we've known awhile!
Vickie shared stories, tips and ideas and stressed the importance of staying connected/relevant and being relentless in our strategy for self promotion. One of the things she talked about was the importance of having your own "posse". Or what I would call your own "strategic advisory board". It seems women tend to work alone more often? Or feel they can get it done better, their way?
We may have many contacts but do we strategically think through how to take advantage of those all important relationships! Do we have a key group of individuals that we consider our posse? Those people we could call with a question, strategic idea or simply to talk?
As you prepare for 2010....I hope one of your goals is build your own strong advisory board!
All the best, See you next week at EWN's February 4th Luncheon Event! www.empoweringwomen.net for more info and to register, Georgia Dudley, EWN Founder!
