On this week’s GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about Winging It with Bobbie Carlton, Shaena Harrison, and Erin Keating. Bobbie is founder of Innovation Women, Shaena is a professional wingwoman – which inspired this topic, and Erin is founder of the Broad Collective. As you are speaking, building Relationships, and showing up for yourself – and your business, the ability to "wing it" will serve you well.
The panel shares their takes on winging, networking, and so much more.
What Winging It Means
– Shaena: Facilitating intros ("Have you met___?"), rolling with situations
– Bobbie: Extroverts are more likely to wing it on stage, as opposed to introverts
– Erin: Being prepared, and being willing and ready to pivot
Why Wing It
– Bobbie: When you don’t, you miss out on opportunities
– Erin: It leaves room for serendipity
– Shaena: You get to mix improv and humor
How to "Wing It" Better
– Bobbie: Prepare your messaging, so it comes out naturally
– Shaena: Cross facilitate introductions, put people into the right conversations; remember, though, you do not have to say "yes" to every request for a recommendation – sometimes you can just do an intro
– Erin: Know what you know, but also be ready to help others succeed; come into meetings/events with a spirit of generosity
Goals
– Erin: Rehearse – write an elevator pitch. hone your bullet points. Then, practice; lock your pitch to 1 minute and pitch it to 10 people
– Shaena: When you meet someone, after you start chatting, guess how many people you have in common on LinkedIn
– Bobbie: Introverts, get comfortable with public speaking
