“Caffeinated Connections” A NEW Workshop on Coffee Talk

Have you ever felt you needed to do a better job of communicating during that sometimes-awkward middle step between successful elevator speech contact and a solid relationship with a referral source or new client? If so, what you need is a Caffeinated Contact. For only $25, this lunchtime seminar/workshop gives you three valuable benefits plus a box lunch—and the bonus of effective networking contact with all the other participants while only giving your own information once.

How does this work? Business consultant Ellen Huxtable and communications coach Susan Price have developed a simple but very effective 3-step approach to help people network more effectively and build good contacts.

1. Susan gives you the Caffeinated Contact ground rules.
2. Ellen and Susan demonstrate how Caffeinated Contact works.
3. You and a partner practice a Caffeinated Contact conversation.

You eat while Susan and Ellen present the first two steps, which leaves a half-hour for the practices conversations. These happen one at a time, so you not only get to see what works well or not so well as other people converse—but also get to know a lot about all the other attendees in the process. The program will end by 12:30, but the room will be available after for anyone who has time to stay for more networking.
