KEYNOTES: Eat, Drink & Succeed! Based on Laura’s book Eat, Drink & Succeed! Climb Your Way to the Top Using the Networking Power of Social Events In this, her signature seminar, Laura explains how to maximize not only day to day business opportunities but how to use your social scenes and ordinary ‘social’ events to further your career and change your life. Through poignant and entertaining anecdotes from her behind-the-scenes experience at the White House, Laura reveals her secrets to success, sharing essential networking tools that will increase sales, productivity and leadership, and propel you to the next level in business and beyond. She shows how the same keys that fueled her success have worked for business powerhouses like Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey, as well as CEOs, entrepreneurs, non-profit leaders and even stay-at-home parents. Most importantly, she shows how they can work for you! Many people approach networking with the idea “What can you do for me?” Instead, Laura believes that your networking mantra should be “What can I do for you?”, because it’s in helping others that we are best able to achieve for ourselves and positive, powerful networking leads to powerful outcomes for ourselves and others. With this in mind, Laura shows how you can find such partnerships in your day to day business interactions, annual conferences and social events in your overlooked social scenes such as your gym, your church, even your child’s baseball league or neighborhood happy hours. No matter how social an event may appear, it is still business. It’s up to you, the guest, to realize an event’s potential to make a difference in your own professional and personal life. Laura teaches you how a prepared guest can get more out of an event than just the food or drink and turn social occasions into tremendous business opportunities. She shares useful techniques that will provide you with the tools for instant entrée into the elite circles of your communities, including how to leverage the powers of preparation, introductions and conversation. She also provides insider tips about effective follow-ups, the etiquette of the business card and her essential event guest checklist. After all, as Laura says, our jobs may be 9 to 5, but our careers are 24/7. She’ll teach you how to maximize the potential of every moment. 5 www.WhiteHouseStrategies.com · USA: 312.523.6220 · UK: 07950 414 151 · Ashley@WhiteHouseStrategies.com
