CWEL Scholars Learn How to Get Past Hello
Posted by Linda Woods Curtin on behalf ofJulie Wong, CWEL Scholars Program Manager
On November 5, the Center for Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership (CWEL) hosted the CWEL Scholars for an event featuring Kim Miles fromMiles in Heels Productionsand Victoria Nessen, founder ofNK&A. The workshop Miles and Nessen presented wasGetting Past Hello! The Art of Cultivating Lasting Business Relationships.
There were 35 undergraduate students in attendance–CWEL Scholars as well as other interested students from the Babson Undergraduate community. Topics covered at the workshop included:
-
> The proper way to wear a name tag
> How to politely excuse yourself from conversations
> How to follow up with a connection
The energy at the event was great, the students were engaged and stayed after the event, forming lines to speak with Miles and Nessen.
Here’s some student feedback received:
“我承认我有犹豫到today because networking is always something I have dreaded. You two completely exceeded my expectations and made networking seem like something I can do!”
“This presentation was incredibly enthusiastic and lively–one of the best that I have witnessed at Babson so far. It is amazing to see that women like you are out there to set forth THE example to follow. I aspire to be able to capture an audience like you two did one day.”
This event is a student favorite for the second year, and we look forward to having the pair back again!
