"Top Dog" Business Etiquette - April Speaker for AWOB Meeting, Gig Harbor

If you’re stressed with even the idea of stepping into a business event alone or maybe tongue-tied when introducing yourself to new people, Stephanie Rowland can help.  Rowland is the featured speaker at the April 10^th Power Series meeting of the Alliance of Women Owned Businesses (AWOB) at the Inn at Gig Harbor. The event begins at 5: pm. 

Successful businesses are built on relationships and conversing with ease at events, receptions and dinners – considering  what your professional presence means to your business, your bottom line, and the all-important “first impression”. After that, your knowledge (and comfort) with business etiquette can make the difference between interest, true contact, or a polite brush off!

Lisa Markman, AWOB president, notes, “Everyone struggles with this.  The trick is to know some strategies and how to apply them.  I am eager for our
membership to get a chance to see that these are skill-sets they can acquire.”

Stephanie Rowlandpresents the basics of “Top Dog Etiquette” in a fun and energizing session to help you move ahead with confidence to successfully interact with business contacts and effectively represent yourself and your business from the board room to the dining room.

AWOB was formed three years ago as a way to support women business owners and to empower them to take their businesses to the next level of success. 

AWOB’s monthly meetings feature a guest speaker, or special format event, on topics of interest to female entrepreneurs. You will meet other women business owners, share your challenges and experiences, and walk away with information that will take your business to the next level.

Monthly events are FREE to AWOB members and first time guests – the fee for all others is $25, payable at the door. Join AWOB and attend all of the events free! You can sign up at this meeting.

Attendees may bring a door prize to get a spotlight moment to promote their business. Business cards are drawn for door prizes.

AWOB Meet Me After Hours, a no-host dinner opportunity, follows the meeting in the restaurant at the Inn at Gig Harbor – offering time for attendees to converse and continue networking in a casual one-to-one setting.
