You find yourself in agony and feel nervous when it’s time for you to communicate your brand verbally to strangers
You find yourself being overly excited about attending live events and quickly become discouraged because you feel intimidated by other entrepreneurs who speak the business language
You wonder how other entrepreneurs can clearly communicate their mission and make connections with ease while you are tongue-tied trying to verbalize your brand

Testimonials

Even though I considered myself a “connector” already, I received valuable insight and tips from Ramunda Young in her “Networking, It’s Not About You” workshop at the Prince William Chamber Business Academy!  Thanks to Ramunda’s valuable networking tip, I’m now much happier to make a few “REAL connections”  at an event.
