This business practice webinar is part three of our four-part program (Stories They Never Told You About Business*) examining the practical and tactical activities and approaches to running a business and getting ahead.

What could you do with a massive raise or a huge promotion? Having a network of people to bounce ideas off of? Or to work with? How would it impact your life? That’s the power of networking. That’s the power of small, consistent actions and moments with BIG impacts.

Let’s face it, networking and business development is stressful, and it is a very strange few who really love it (the speaker included).  It may sound a little Hollywood, but the business world is more about who you know (and who they know) than what you know.  In fact, using their networks, top performers often hear about unadvertised jobs first.

If you’re new to networking, you may be asking yourself where to start. It’s easier than you think – which is why we are FIRED up to hang out with Jess Hickey again and tap into her networking superpowers. Jess will share her years of work, research, networking, and sheer trial-and-error to understand, distill, and teach how us how to develop these skills. Read more about Jess in the bio below, and ask her about the story of 1029 (her business name). This presentation will be highly interactive.  Bring your high focus and a thick notebook!  We hope to see you there!

No-shows and cancelations after July 28 will not be refunded. Registration for this business practice event closes at noon (PST) on August 3.

An engineer turned operations maven, Jess Hickey brings her right/left brain balance to helping everyone run their businesses better. As a consultant, she’s the expert in organizational structure, operations, finance, IT, marketing, administration (she was an administrator in one career), and HR. As a CEO peer advisory leader, she facilitates business owners, founders and CEOs in their leadership development, company growth and decision-making, all focused on improving their business, their families and their communities. As a speaker, Jess brings enthusiasm, energy and a bit of humor to her presentations. Always looking to elevate others’ success, her presentations give practical and simple approaches to gnarly problems.  When she’s not presenting, facilitating or writing, you can find her sailing on Puget Sound on the family boat.
