Make Every Conversation Count: A Networking Workshop For CAF and Veteran Spouses

For many professionals, networking can feel daunting or transactional, but done well, it’s one of the most effective ways to open doors, share your expertise, and build lasting professional relationships. This interactive three-hour session will help you approach networking events, career fairs, and online networking with confidence, clarity, and a strategy for success.

You'll learn how to set purposeful networking goals, introduce yourself in a way that makes a strong and lasting impression, and use proven techniques to build authentic connections. We'll also explore how to strengthen your personal brand, optimize your LinkedIn profile to support your networking goals, leverage LinkedIn to expand and maintain your professional network, and follow up in a way that turns new connections into lasting relationships.

Whether you're exploring new opportunities, growing your professional network, or building your visibility in your field, this session will help you make the most of every networking opportunity, both in person and online.

In this 3 hour session, you will:

• Set clear, purposeful networking goals that align with your professional aspirations
• Craft and confidently deliver a compelling introduction to spark meaningful conversations
