Building Energy Exchange

Let’s be honest—just hearing the word “networking” is enough to make some folks break into a cold sweat. Meanwhile, others glide through events collecting business cards like Pokémon. What’s their secret?

Join Building Energy Exchange and Friend of BE-Ex, Will Carlin, on May 22nd for another Speakable Series seminar: “The Secrets of Effective Networking”. We’ll uncover practical, proven techniques to help you build real connections, boost your professional presence, and form relationships that actually last longer than a LinkedIn notification.

Because here’s the thing: being effective at networking isn’t just about chatting over cheese cubes at mixers—it’s a critical skill that can open doors, create opportunities, and accelerate your career in ways a resume never could.

And if you’re an introvert who hates the very idea of networking? This session was designed with you in mind. No forced conversations, no fake smiles—just strategies that work for real humans who prefer meaningful connections over mindless mingling.

Whether you’re a seasoned schmoozer or someone who pretends to check their phone in the corner, this session will give you the tools to network with confidence, authenticity, and maybe even a little enjoyment (gasp!).

Join us—and turn awkward small talk into career gold.
