I was slightly concerned that that this was going to be a low ROI networking event. But I was also determined to get the most out of it. I will go again to keep the momentum, however, at each time to a higher level. The best advise to anyone attending these types of events be Genuine, be Vulnerable, and keep to your authentic self don't bend to any other conversation, any other environment, or get sucked into drama. This served me well, although not perfect, let's face it we all run on adrenaline for the last day for sure.

Hey, there! My name is Laura Charles. I’m from Connecticut. I joined for mentorship and proper guidance from those who are already successful in doing what I will do in the future; to strengthen my capital raising skills, specifically as it pertains to oral etiquette, public speaking, and presenting deals to investors & sponsors; and to further network, and cultivate community. My biggest goal is to be savvy and confident with marketing deals to investors & sponsors—in a way of expertise (knowing everything about a deal). An interesting fact about me is I like catching small lizards in tropical places. Here is a recent photo of me at a coffee event I hosted before Peak’s networking event (grey sweats is me!)
