Orbit Virtual Coffee Chats: Networking for Women in HealthTech
Welcome to Orbit Mentoring’s Virtual Coffee Chat series.
Expand your Orbit! 🪐 Orbit Coffee Chats are relaxed, virtual conversations designed to bring women together across health and health tech over an hour to connect over a topic of interest to support career growth.
Whether you’re curious about healthtech❓, exploring portfolio careers 💼, stepping into leadership 🦸🏻♂️, or simply looking to expand your professional circle 𖣠, this session offers a friendly space to learn, share experiences, and connect with others.
The first of the series is on the topic of How to Network. 🤝 Networking is critical for everything from looking for a job to nailing sales and it is how we create the opportunities for ourselves to achieve our goals. And yet so many of us find it awkward, intimidating and don’t feel good at it.
How does one network in a way that feels authentic and manageable?
I always freeze and don’t know what to say.
I never seem to get a word in and then the moment is gone.
This is about real conversations, practical tips, and peer-to-peer support, where questions are welcome and no one is lecturing.
What to expect
Before the event, a short briefing document with pointers will be shared. The goal is to work from this as a starting point on the day.
On the day:
19:00-19:10 Welcome by Orbit Mentoring
19:10-19:30 Breakout one: small group peer-to-peer discussion on the topic
19:30-19:50 Networking practice - random assignments into pairs or small groups
19:50-20:00 Close by Orbit Mentoring
