Strategic Event Networking: Show Up With Purpose | The Visible(ish) Podcast Ep.17

Stop wasting your energy at networking events that don't serve your business goals. In this episode, I share my 3-question test for choosing events strategically and how to show up with intention, especially if you're neurodivergent or feel like events aren't your thing!

What you'll learn:

  • The 3-question test for strategic event selection
  • How to research who's in the room before you go
  • Entertainment and engagement strategies for ADHD brains
  • Why most people are networking in the wrong rooms
  • Positioning tactics that actually work at events
  • How to plan your social battery usage wisely

Perfect for entrepreneurs, business owners and anyone who finds traditional networking draining but knows events could be powerful for their business growth.
