    Let's Have Fun Networking!

    At our upcoming Peninsula meeting, I will be facilitating a structured networking session in a way that's designed to build stronger professional relationships.

    Immediately following the more formal opening of our meeting and the elevator pitches, we will have three 10-minute rounds of one-to-one discussions. Everyone will pair off together and chat - whether to better understand each other's services, explore potential collaboration, or simply to know each other better.

    At the conclusion of each 10-minute session, I will ask you to find another partner and begin a new conversation.

    I encourage you to come prepared with thoughtful questions and a clear understanding of what you are seeking in terms of referrals, partnerships, or strategic connections.

      So bring your business cards and your curiosity to make the most of this opportunity.

      Guest Tickets are available, making this a perfect opportunity to bring along a business colleague to share the SBNG experience. Simply select your “Plus One” when booking.

      Step Into Visibility - Member Spotlight Workshop

      This is a Member-Only Event

      If you’ve been considering doing an SBNG Member Spotlight but feel unsure where to start, this workshop is for you.

      This practical 4-hour session is designed to help you confidently craft and structure your 10-minute mini-presentation so you can speak clearly, calmly, and with purpose.

      We’ll focus on:

      • Creating a strong opening that sets the tone
      • Clarifying your story and what inspired your business
      • Defining who you love helping and how to articulate it simply
      • Identifying the referrals and connections you’re seeking
      • Building a clear, logical structure you can reuse again and again

      This is a working session – not just theory. You’ll leave with a structured outline and greater confidence in how you present yourself and your business.

      Visibility builds credibility. Preparation builds confidence.

      Places are limited to ensure a focused, supportive environment.

      Register now and take the next step in strengthening how you show up in your business.
