Join our upcoming webinar with our partner, Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC), to learn how small business owners, especially those in underserved urban areas, can work with (and benefit from) anchor institutions located in their own backyards.

On this webinar you will also learn about how the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program can help scale your business as you look to leverage anchor organizations in your region.  Anchor organizations include universities, healthcare organizations, corporations, and arts and culture organizations. They play a significant role in the local economy and have a long-term interest in seeing their local communities thrive (e.g., shared value).

Points of opportunity include:
(1) directing anchor institutional purchasing towards local businesses,
(2) collaborating on workforce development efforts, and
(3) providing networking, consulting and advising opportunities to small businesses.

Business is built on relationships, not 30-second commercials. Your ability to connect with people is essential to developing profitable relationships. You’re aware that people do business with those they know, like and trust; yet you struggle with maintaining good relationships with your connections -relationships that result in a referral or client. Not many people were taught how to network for business. They simply show up and pass out business cards without having a plan or strategy for building relationships. Women business owners are natural collaborators and connectors; but with a strategic approach to deepening relationships they can be more productive, effective and build a high net worth network. This session is essential for NAWBO members and leaders who want to strengthen relationships with members, sponsors and the business community. Tarsha Polk, helps attendees move beyond passing out a business card to strategically building successful networking relationships.

Key Takeaways

1. Learn the skills you need to build business relationships.
2. Strategies for developing and nurturing relationships.
3. Ways to leverage your contacts to gain contracts.

Unlike many speakers and consultants, DJ shows you exactly what to say and how to say it, and what to do and how to do it right. Are you well connected? Do you have a competitive edge?   DJ’s conversations are interactive and engaging.

“Neuroscience has revealed that when we make decisions, we’re not always in charge… and that listening to your gut is critical to the collaboration between emotion and reason in the brain” (Harvard Business Review, Special Issue, January 2019). However, as women entrepreneurs, oftentimes we are told how to express and present ourselves, often ignoring the wisdom we carry within us. Furthermore, powerful cultural messages reinforce some of our negative self-talk while we struggle to balance what we know to be instinctively true with acceptable social behaviors.
