| "SPEED NETWORKING - THE KEY TO YOUR PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS" |
Join us in September for our first ever “Speed Networking” event. Not to worry, it is not actually speed
dating, rather it will be “Speed Networking.”
Have you ever been to one of our fabulous meetings and seen about 50 people in the room and
wondered what all of these interesting people are working on, or what they know that could benefit you?
Well then, this is your opportunity to actually make contact with all of these folks.
This is not an event for vendors to peddle their wares, nor is it a job fair. It is a way for all of us to
connect or re-connect with each other. It will let us know if we should schedule more one-on-one time
with some of our colleagues to share best practices in common areas of work/interest.
Here’s how the event will work:
Introduction and instruction: 5 minutes
• Half of the participants will be assigned a table.
• The other half will network at each table for 4 minutes and then shift to the next table in the row.
Each participant will have two minutes to “tell their story.”
Here are the scripted questions that need to be answered in your 2 minutes:
1. Basic introductions. Exchange business cards if you desire.
2. What is your current working role. (What was your most recent working role.)
3. What are your two biggest projects right now. (What were you last two big projects.)
4. What is one best practice you have learned and how did it benefit you and/or your
company?
Example:
1. Hi, I’m Nathan Nypen, here’s my business card.
2. I am the Director of Training and Development for Red Lion Hotels and have been for five years.
3. I am working on shifting our culture to a more service-centric culture rather than the cost-cutting
one that we have been living in recently. I’m also working on developing job aids for every position in our
hotels so we can set a concrete expectation of all of our employees. It will help our managers hold
people accountable.
4. The best practice I have learned and shared with others is “what gets measured gets managed.”
By measuring results, it puts focus on an issue/opportunity, like turnover, will bring to light opportunities
for improvement, such as training, changing processes, and it also holds those accountable for the
results.
We realize this doesn’t seem like a lot of time, but it will help us know if we want to have a more in-depth
discussion at a later date.
Note: due to the nature of this event, we can only accept the first 30 people who sign up.
