About Women Kick Glass
Women Kick Glass is a networking collaborative designed to inspire, energize and connect women of all ages and stages. Women Kick Glass "networking-with-a-purpose" events and activities foster opportunities to share ideas, empower exchange and build community.

Tips & Techniques for Effective Networking
-
Set a goal of reaching out and connecting to a few contacts each week. Make time regularly to pick up the phone or send a note to keep your network alive.
Say "yes" and be open to all networking possibilities. You never know when or where the right opportunity will present itself.
When attending a professional event, ask a question from the audience to make yourself known. Be an active participant.
Offer to help others who ask. To avoid becoming overwhelmed by the "asks," however put the onus on those asking. Invite them to follow up with you to ask questions or address their need rather than taking it on yourself and adding to your "to do" list.
Be bold, be brave in your approach to networking. Have courage and ask for what you want knowing that most people genuinely want to help if they can.
Go to networking events solo on occasion to resist the urge to sit with friends and stay in your comfort zone. Set a goal of making at minimum one to two new connections at every event you attend.
Wear something with pockets as this will help you keep your business cards handy and avoid the awkward juggle of your bag, your glass and whatever papers you may collect along the way.
