Note: All times are in MST

Authentic relationships and inclusive community building practices are at the heart of Pamela Slim’s new book, The Widest Net. She reveals the “ecosystem wheel” model for finding new customers and audiences in a brand new way.

If you’re a woman in technology who’s looking to grow her career, this event is for you. Join Program Specialist, Hanan Chebib, as she explores how to apply concepts from The Widest Net to your network and career development.

What you’ll walk away with: 

  • Search outside your own lens, bias, routine and history to identify and reach real customers

  • Attract the interest and attention of new leads by learning more about them authentically

  • Develop products and services suited to these customers

  • Sell through a trusted reciprocity framework where your customers become part of your ecosystem and you each help the other grow

  • Build and sustain loyalty and trust with new customers

  • Nurture a diverse and resilient customer base by identifying and adjusting to the ideal customer target over time

This event is digital and free to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!

Hi, I’m Hanan Chebib! I have had the honour of working across multiple industries in my career. In every case, however, I enjoyed being at the heart of figuring out “how” with strong people who think creatively. Through my work, I have led brave change by bringing together unique perspectives and expertise to solve new challenges collaboratively as a team, and make data driven decisions. Constantly exercising both sides of my brain, outside of work you can find me working on a new mural project or connecting with my family.

At Chic Geek, my work involves leading behind-the scenes development for programs you now know, or soon will love!
