Johanna Wise, Founder of Refresh Your Career: Connect•Work•Thrive Conferences
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.”
