Hi, I'm Tara! I'm a multi-passionate business and marketing coach.
Networking is something that can frighten a lot of introverts, as we picture a room full of extroverted people, all chatting away, and us on the fringes not having a clue how to get involved – or whether we even want to! However, as my guest and I talk about in today’s podcast episode, there are loads of different types of networking and getting good at this essential business skill is simply a matter of finding the one that works best for you and practicing it! For example, I’m currently running my “Candid Convos” and I’m loving meeting new people that way, but conferences require me to manage my energy a lot more. So, how do you know where to even begin? We’re diving into this and more in today’s episode.
Joining me on the podcast today is Michelle Whyte, the CEO, Chief Etiquette Officer, and founder of Ambiance Special Events. And your business big sis on all things etiquette and connection. She specializes in curating meaningful experiences that bring people together, fostering authentic connections, and celebrating the beauty of human interaction. Michelle uses 18 years of hospitality and event planning, along with a business etiquette expertise, to elevate the intention behind gathering people together for more memorable and meaningful experiences. Whether it’s through event planning, nurturing interpersonal bonds, or mentoring entrepreneurs, Michelle’s passion lies in creating spaces where people can connect, communicate, and carry themselves with more ease & authenticity.
