✨ Networking in a Hyperconnected World: The New Rules of Engagement

We're all more connected than ever. More contacts, more platforms, more ways to reach people than any generation before us. So why does building real, lasting relationships still feel so hard?

🌿 If you stepped back from events over the summer, August is perfect timing to hop back in. Come reset, reconnect, and set yourself up for a strong back half of the year.

🤝 Join NAWBO Austin for our August luncheon featuring Mindy East, a networking expert and HR leader with over 30 years of experience. Mindy will walk us through the new rules of engagement: how to cut through the noise, connect with intention, and become the kind of professional people remember and refer.

✨ You'll leave knowing how to turn casual contacts into genuine relationships, and how to show up in a way that builds trust before you ever ask for anything. Whether you're growing your network or rethinking how you use it, this session will change how you connect.

What you'll take away:

Learn the new rules of networking in a world where everyone is already connected.
Gain practical ways to become known, trusted, and referred in your industry.
Understand how to turn surface-level contacts into relationships that last.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT ALL NAWBO LUNCHEONS:

A welcoming environment for all women business owners and those who support them.
A registration table with friendly faces to help you sign in and a hospitality team to welcome you if you're new.
A brief NAWBO Austin monthly meeting program.
This month's Featured Presentation.
Door prize giveaway.
Wrap-up and a chance to network with other women business owners in attendance.
Space is limited, and we often sell out. Early registration is encouraged. We value your time and adjourn promptly at 1:30.
