Hey {{first_name}},
If the word networking makes you cringe a little, you’re not alone. For many women in tech, it brings up images of awkward cold outreach, transactional conversations, or “quick coffee chats” that never quite go anywhere. And yet, we all know how much relationships matter—especially when it comes to career growth, opportunity, and momentum.
That’s why we’re excited about this week’s Hands-On Networking Workshop + Guided Co-Working. This session is designed for anyone who wants to build meaningful connections without forcing themselves into a version of networking that feels unnatural. Career coach and WOKEN founder Rachel Serwetz will walk us through how to identify warm connections, write outreach that sounds like you, and—most importantly—follow through.
What makes this session different is the built-in action. You won’t just listen; you’ll do the work during the hour, with guided prompts and breakout rooms to help you take real steps forward. Whether you’re exploring a job change, building relationships for the long term, or simply trying to feel less stuck, you’ll leave with clarity and momentum—not another to-do list.
🗓 Wednesday, Jan 28 | 10–11am PT
