May Community Call
Mastering the Art of Networking: Turning Conversations into Opportunities
Hosted by Alex Canavan
Sponsored by Sow to Speak
Success doesn’t just come from who you know—it comes from how you build, nurture, and activate your network.
In this month’s Community Call, we’re breaking down what intentional networking actually looks like—and how to move beyond surface-level conversations to create meaningful relationships that open doors.
Because in 2026, the women who are growing in their careers and scaling their businesses aren’t just showing up—they’re building strategic, authentic connections that lead to real opportunities.
What You’ll Learn
In this session, we’ll explore how high-performing women:
Build genuine relationships that go beyond transactional networking
Confidently start and navigate impactful conversations
Follow up and stay top of mind without feeling awkward or forced
Turn connections into collaborations, referrals, and opportunities
