Most people don't believe me when I say this, but here’s a secret of mine: I am actually an introvert. I often dread the small talk of industry events and how draining these events can sometimes feel. But over years of attending industry events, I've come up with a game plan that has made attending events both more fun AND more valuable.

In this episode, I'll share my tried and true game plan with you, including...

⚡️ The THREE steps that I take to ensure a more mindful and impactful time at events

⚡️ How knowing and sharing your goals with others helps your brand

⚡️ And why you need to build in time to rest after events!

As I mentioned in the episode, I want to know what YOUR goal for your next event is, so feel free to tag us in your stories OR DM us on Instagram or LinkedIn so that we can cheer you on!
