The Power of Connecting

Networking asks, "What can you do for me?" Connecting asks, "How can I serve you?"

Most of us are good at collecting business cards. Far fewer of us know what to do with them. In this warm, story-driven seminar, author and storyteller Curt Iles of Creekbank Stories shows how real relationships get built, one genuine conversation at a time.

Through stories, humor, and a guided group conversation, you'll learn:

• The real difference between networking and connecting
• How great connectors listen, using two simple phrases: "Tell me about..." and "Tell me more"
• Why follow-up matters, and why a handwritten note is still one of the most powerful tools you have
• What "super connectors" do differently, and how you can become one
• Why you don't have to be loud to be great at this, and how quiet leaders often connect best
• The difference between meeting friends, making them, and keeping them

Whether you lead a team, run a business, or just want deeper relationships, you'll leave with simple habits you can start using the next day.

Every attendee receives a free copy of Curt's book, The Three Trees.
