Unlock the Room: Networking Workshop with Paula Monteiro

You’ve done the degrees, the move, the hard work. But when the real opportunities show up... your name isn’t in the room.

Here’s the truth: opportunities don’t just land in your inbox. They come through people — the introductions, the quiet recommendations, the “you should talk to her” moments.

That’s exactly what this workshop is about: unlocking those doors.

Networking doesn’t have to feel fake, awkward, or draining. It can actually feel natural, exciting, and even fun — when you know how.

This isn’t theory. It’s a hands-on session where you’ll practice, connect, and leave with real strategies (and real contacts).

👉 The Networking Reset
Ditch the awkward small talk and learn how to build real, meaningful connections.

👉 The Connection Formula
How to introduce yourself confidently, spark conversations that flow, and make sure people actually remember you.

👉 Where Opportunities Hide
Spot the events, circles, and rooms that really move your career or business forward.

👉 Follow-Up Made Simple
Scripts and strategies to stay top of mind without feeling pushy or needy.
