As a local business owner, your time is your most valuable asset. Yet, traditional networking often feels like a time sink—unstructured, mentally exhausting, and delivering inconsistent results. The problem isn’t your effort; it’s the hidden strain networking places on the core Executive Functions you rely on to run your business.
What attendees can expect to learn:
- Discover how to create an internal “Option Menu” that gives you the agility and foresight to confidently command any networking interaction, no matter how unpredictable.
- Apply Goal-Directed Persistence to your networking. This systematic approach ensures you move beyond simply showing up, replacing uncertainty with a clear roadmap for consistent, strategic results and strong relationships.
- Learn powerful techniques to “offload” information and optimize your Working Memory, so you can stop mentally scrambling to remember names and details. This protects your focus and allows you to build genuine, fatigue-free connections. Your Cognitive Flexibility is the key to mental preparedness.
