RDU SMB Meetup | July 28, 2026 | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
KW Raleigh | 4700 Homewood Ct. Raleigh, NC 27609 Suite 200
As business owners and community leaders, we're often expected to have the answers. Yet the best opportunities, relationships, and solutions often come from asking better questions.
Join Noa Ronen, Founder & CEO of ADVAgo, for an interactive session where you'll learn how to use curiosity and intentional questions to build stronger relationships, better understand client needs, uncover opportunities, and move beyond surface-level networking.
Through discussion and practice, you'll explore the PEER & ASK frameworks- simple approaches to uncovering the real challenge before jumping to advice or solutions.
You'll leave with practical tools to strengthen conversations, deepen connections, and ask questions that lead to better outcomes, while practicing them with others in the room.
