SUMMARY:Membership Meeting: Networking Without the Awkward
DESCRIPTION:The Greater Federal Way Chamber welcomes Monica Blackwood\, CSP\, SPHR\, SHRM-SCP\, President & CEO of West Sound Workforce\, for a keynote on how to make the most of your business networking at our monthly membership meeting. \n\n\n\nNetworking for Business Growth\n\n\n\nGood networking isn't about collecting business cards or delivering the perfect elevator pitch. It's about starting genuine conversations and building relationships over time.  This keynote presentation breaks networking into three simple steps: how to prepare before you arrive\, connect comfortably while you're there\, and follow up in a way that keeps the conversation going. You'll leave with practical tips\, easy conversation starters\, and a clear plan for approaching your next networking opportunity with greater confidence.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nAs President\, CEO\, and owner of West Sound Workforce\, Monica helps organizations tackle one of their most important\, and often most frustrating\, challenges: finding the right people to move their work forward. She brings more than 20 years of experience in business leadership\, human resources\, recruiting\, compliance\, and workforce strategy. Monica has guided complex executive searches\, advised leaders through difficult workplace decisions\, and helped employers rethink how they attract\, evaluate\, and retain talent.
