Meetup #49 – Why, How, What
November 12, 2013 @ 12:00 am
November 12, 2013 | Emma’s Back Porch, Burlington | Meetup #49
During Meetup 49 we will be exploring why successful people and companies start with why, not what they do.
Stronger and productive networks are formed when others share the reason why you do what you do. But most people are programmed to build networks and business because of what they do. People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.
Based on the Simon Sinek’s TedTalk (below), How great leaders inspire action, and his book, Start with Why, join us for a discussion on how incorporating the science of why into your networking strategy can help you to better leverage your connections for success.

Speed Networking Section
November is also Networking. Following the presentation, we will participate in a speed networking session. Networking is a particularly effective way to get new business, not to mention other benefits such as strengthening ones peer support network and locating mentors.
To ensure wall-flowers profit as much as the power networkers, we will use the low-tech but effective Popsicle stick networking technique. Guided by numbered Popsicle sticks, attendes will join small groups to exchange business information then move to another group, and so on. You will come away with new connections and leads to future opportunities.
