Why Attend a Connect•Work•Thrive Conference?

Johanna Wise

“Attending Connect•Work•Thrive conferences will make you significantly more marketable: you can develop your resume and a compelling LinkedIn profile which will stand out among the rest, improve your interview and negotiation skills, and most importantly, gain a better understanding of the jobs for which you are suited, along with the skills to find them.

Connect•Work•Thrive Conferences offer those in career transition a plethora of action-oriented workshops, dynamic keynote presentations, and workshop facilitators who are the BEST at what they do.

Attend with a friend. The price for the workshop is reduced if you sign up with one or more friends.

Invest in yourself. We think nothing of hiring tutors for our children.

Now it’s your turn.”

In order to THRIVE in the workplace we must build a network. First we need to attend a variety of events, “work” rooms, connect with new people, break the ice, start conversations, and exit them graciously. The savvy among us know that networking is a mutually beneficial process whereby we share information, leads, ideas, support – and if we are lucky – laughter.

“…I’ve spoken at a lot of events and I was blown away by the high quality of the participants as well as the speakers. In fact, one of my clients was reporting how she wanted to keep connecting with the women she met there since they were so awesome and inspiring. I think whenever you’re deciding where to spend your time and money resources on conferences, you need to consider the caliber of the participants which will set the level of discourse for the whole conference.”

“I believe that women represent a tremendous, untapped resource that has produced and will continue to yield huge returns for organizations and the communities they support. Through the power of women’s entrepreneurial activity, we create growth and prosperity while driving solutions for business and social problems. We, in partnership with men, are now a driving force of entrepreneurial growth and leading real, fundamental economic change that is reshaping the world.”
