#74 Conference Networking Tips | Q&A Coaching Session with Chad Clark

I went to my first real conference just over four years ago, and it changed my life. The conference was for female creative business owners and I had never felt so at home amongst strangers. It was the first time I felt that, “These are my people” kind of feeling and I’ve been seeking out those types of connections ever since.

Conferences continue to be the places where I find I am most inspired and encouraged in my life and business. Especially since I’ve lived in smaller cities post-college, conferences break me out of what’s become “normal” to me and expose me diversity in thought, approach and style.

I love conferences. And I approach them with a lot of energy and thoughtfulness because I want to make it worth my investment to be there.

But I also know there are a lot of people out there that are not quite as excited about conferences as I am. They might not enjoy conferences because they don’t like the idea of networking, feel overwhelmed by a crowded room or feel uncertain about how to follow up after the conference is over.

Whether you love conferences as I do, or you see them more as a duty than an opportunity, this episode of Career Foresight will give you the tools and skills you need to rock your next conference or networking event!

This episode is a conversation with my friend Chad Clark from Koach Financial before he flew to Atlanta for the Bank Innovation Build conference. We structured the conversation like a coaching session to make sure Chad felt prepared to represent Koach, and find the information, people and resources he needed to take the company to the next level.

I know you’ll be able to glean a lot of helpful tips from our Q&A format of conference networking tips!
