Networking Nova – September 2010

Each month the SSWBN Membership Team recognizes a member who exemplifies the qualities of a Networking Nova, a person who embodies the Network’s core values of coaching, contacts and collaboration; someone who is visible at many SSWBN events and who treats others with respect and dignity. In addition, this person utilizes the Network to build his/her business and helps others do the same.

Don’t Be Shy: Say Hello –  Or Come Along to Jump Out of a Plane

At the beginning of 2010 I joined the Network — at the same time that I launched Beth York Real Estate, LLC.

Since then, I have taken the opportunity to introduce Beth York Real Estate through the three-minute spotlight at a lunch meeting, as well as through sponsoring a breakfast.  The exposure has been great, and over time I am confident that being a member will contribute to the growth of my business and be a source of reciprocating referrals.

I regularly attend the breakfasts and lunches.  I have met some really great people who are supportive and kind.  I find the speakers to be interesting and inspiring. I enjoy the opportunity to connect with other women in business — women (and men) who “get it.”

It is important to attend meetings and get involved.  Everyone is busy with work and family commitments, and yet it is nice to take an hour or so a month to meet with other professionals.  Don’t be shy:  say hello!

I would like to invite members who are interested in adventure, fitness and sports to form a recreational group or committee within the Network that can plan regular “outings” (maybe it already exists, since we just had such a great golf outing). As much as I enjoy the meetings, I believe meeting and bonding while doing something outside and adventurous to be important.  As a personal invitation, if anyone wants to jump out of a plane (or go to the wind tunnel for skydiving indoors) email me and we’ll get a group going!  Email:  Beth@BethYorkRealEstate.com.
