About this Event
WORKSHOP + NETWORKING EVENT
If you’ve ever left a networking event thinking “Well…that was awkward and a waste of time,” you’re not alone. If talking about what you do makes you feel cringey, salesy, or self-conscious, that’s also pretty common. And if you know relationships matter but aren’t sure how to leverage them without feeling fake or pushy…this workshop is for you.
At Network Like A Badass, you’ll learn how to ditch the small talk, stop “pitching,” and start building genuine relationships that lead to referrals, collaborations, clients, and real momentum, while being your authentic self.
Join Business Coach, Psychotherapist, and professional Badass Connector Diana Zelvin for a fun, interactive evening where you’ll learn how to:
- Build genuine, relationships that fuel business growth
- Activate your existing network (without feeling annoying or awkward)
- Start conversations confidently and follow up with ease
Then…you’ll practice in real time.
The second half of the evening is networking where you’ll put these tools into action immediately. Diana will coach attendees live, helping you connect meaningfully, make your conversations count, and leave with clarity and confidence.
You’ll walk away with:
- A fresh, powerful approach to networking that actually works
- Real conversations (no cringe-y pitches required)
- New connections—and a clear plan to follow up and build momentum
Whether you’re growing your business, launching something new, or craving more visibility and opportunity, this is the room you want to be in.
Expect warmth, laughter, and real conversations!
