Networking with Confidence: Real Strategies for Small Business Owners

Building strong connections can open doors for your business, but networking doesn’t always come naturally. If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to start conversations, follow up, or make networking feel authentic, this webinar is for you.

Join us for an interactive conversation with Lexy Knott, an experienced networker. She’s relatable, practical, and the first to admit that strong networking skills come from practice—not perfection.

Expect to hear from experienced local networkers in this supportive virtual space where we’ll keep cameras on as much as possible. This interactive session will be hosted as a Zoom Meeting. Participants are encouraged to have their cameras on and participate through the Zoom chat feature.

You’ll walk away with:

  • Practical networking strategies you can use right away
  • Tips for making networking feel more natural and less intimidating
  • Insights from fellow entrepreneurs navigating the same challenges
  • Strategies for confidently introducing yourself and sharing your business story

Come ready to learn and laugh a little (dad jokes welcome) while strengthening your networking confidence. We’ll also highlight opportunities to continue building your network and put these skills into practice!
