D&T | Time for a Quick one, Being a networking diva


Listen Later

Dawn and Tracy are here for another quick one. This time, they’re taking a look back at episode 75 with Caroline Andrew-Johnstone, also known as ‘The Network Rebel.’ Caroline talks about her journey from reluctant first time network attendee to where she is today, managing director of ‘4 Networking.’ She talks about how networking can improve your business and how, like her, you'll never know until you try.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Caroline talks about her experience at her first networking event and it was not what she had expected.
  • Caroline talks about how she became a leader at the networking events and the skills she learned to allow her to launch a further 24 networks.
  • Once covid hit, Caroline realised she needed a change. She talks about her transformation into the ‘Networking Rebel.’
  • Caroline makes her case for why people should join networking groups, mainly the 80-20 rule. 20% of business is showing up, but 80% comes from networking.

BEST MOMENTS

 “Before I went to my first networking event I was convinced I would be walking into a cult.”

“I’m here to coach confidence which means I have to put my big girl pants on and actually do the do.”

“It’s not about what you do, it’s about the itch that you scratch and how you can help people.”

ABOUT THE HOSTS

Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up of all the “noise” out there in the real world. Life isn’t simply rainbows and unicorns, it's broken relationships, hard work, hot sweats and never ending laundry baskets.  But life as a real woman is also about being honest, having good gossip and speaking our truths. Whether it’s peeling yourself into your spandex for a night out, or running a business meeting barefoot because the heel has fallen off your stilettos, there is always something to laugh about in life.

Dawn is mid 50’s mid menopause straight talking business maverick.  Four kids, three grandchildren, two businesses, one husband and a self proclaimed “hottie”.

Tracy is a mid 50’s awesome mum, business and property mentor. Proud of her raw, honest nature, “bonkers” sense of humour and good old-fashioned northern humility.

 

PODCAST DESCRIPTION

The business of being a real woman juggling life, love and work for many of us is pure sweat, grit & hustle. This podcast is for those of you who are tired of the “noise” and just want real down-to-earth gossip with no filters or fluff.  Dawn and Tracy bring heartfelt humour, raw honesty, spandex, stilettos, and intelligent conversion on being a real woman in today's world.
