"I feel much more comfortable networking in person and online after attending a few sessions."

The speed networking events are run so smoothly and timely. It is clear that Melissa has a vision for each event and a systematic plan for achieving that vision. It isn’t one thing, it is mostly just the way Melissa always presents her authentic self and SHOWS you how to do the same. She doesn’t just say, ‘be authentic,’ she gives you strategies for HOW to do that, and opportunities to practice with like-minded people. I feel much more comfortable networking in person and online after attending a few sessions. I think of networking as another tool in my toolbox, and one has to learn to use a tool to make it effective, otherwise it just sits in the box gathering rust. Melissa’s networking SHOWS you and GROWS you into an authentic representation of who you are as a business professional.
