A focus will be on asking questions to show interest: a way of being ‘the most interested person in the room\,’ instead of the most interesting\, and avoiding having interactions be transactional by keeping them open and engaging. In addition\, we’ll discuss using social media to engage (and stay engaged) after you meet someone. And\, we’ll experiment with a few fun icebreakers and hands-on activities. \nThis event is hosted by 20Fathoms in partnership with Grand Valley State University. \nEvent format:\nThis is an in-person event and there is no charge to attend. \nLunch will be provided with support from Chick-fil-A. \nSpace is limited. Please register. \nWho should attend:\nAnyone interested in learning more about how to network! \nAbout the presenters:\nShea Petaja spent the first 15 years of her career in the world of finance helping build a successful investment advisory firm as their Chief Experience and Marketing Officer. She received accolades from TD Ameritrade for offering the best client experience nationally. During this time she produced and co-hosted a live talk radio show for 10 years. You might remember her from Fulfillament\, a local storytelling event that ran for 7 years. Shea coached over 100 entrepreneurs on how to tell their story on stage to inspire others to come alive in their careers. Casey Cowell said it best\, “Shea’s coaching reveals far more and fast\, which is a talent that is only occasionally discovered.” \nSimultaneously\, she became a certified coach to partner with other creatives\, entrepreneurs\, and achievers to help them quickly see the path forward in their personal and professional life. Shea’s superpower is teaching others how to be the most interested person in the room by going first and initiating conversations that can change lives. She will teach you how to connect with yourself\, others and ultimately your business. She does this in her one-on-one coaching\, workshops\, and keynote speaking engagements. She also hosts her own podcast\, “The Honest Edge\,” to teach others how to become an authority on their pain and create purpose in their lives. In her spare time\, she performs improv\, sketch\, and stand up comedy. It might surprise you to know that she started life as an introvert. \nThomas Coke is an entrepreneur\, lawyer\, branding geek\, and alternative finance/fintech guru. Currently\, he helps student businesses launch\, fundraises\, and serves as CEO of VarsityGems\, a digital trading card company in the NCAA Name\, Image\, and Likeness space. Formerly with startups VerifyValid and CrowdFund Connect\, CampusStarter/Hubbub\, SafeWhistle\, and BitLyft (4 exits\, 1 solid success\, and a few failures) and an advisor to multiple startups\, he loves helping launch ventures. He has also been a part of — as a speaker\, lecture\, and judge — a number of college entrepreneurship competitions and programs. He holds a BA in Econ from Kalamazoo and JD from MSU College of Law. \n\n\nAbout 20Fathoms\n20Fathoms is the home of technology and entrepreneurship in Northern Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Six keys to getting what you want from your team\n\n\nThis event is part of 20Fathoms’ educational programming series. \nAre you a leader who is getting everything you want from your organization? Can you be your best? How will you get there? \nAmy works with leaders and owners of organizations to help them to be their best. She assists teams in sharing their vision\, garnering traction\, and bolstering team health by running on EOS: the Entrepreneurial Operating System. \nAll organizations run on some form of operating system – it’s the way people work. Sometimes it’s intentional\, and sometimes growth or other pressures get a team to work the way they do. As more than 200\,000 organizations around the globe have found\, running on EOS achieves rapid growth and a more balanced org. EOS is a people operating system that harnesses human energy through a simple set of tools and principles. \nThis event is hosted by 20Fathoms in partnership with Amy Courter. \nEvent format:\nThis is an in-person event and there is no charge to attend. \nLight snacks will be provided. \nSpace is limited. Please register. \nWho should attend:\nLeaders and owners of organizations who wants to solve issues before they become problems\, get the right people in the right seats\, make meetings so productive that you actually look forward to them\, and build a culture of accountability\, join us. You’ll depart our talk with immediately usable information\, workbooks\, and a life-changing book to chart your course to being your best. \nAbout the presenter:\nAs a Certified Entrepreneurial Operating System Implementer (EOSI)\, Amy S. Courter teaches\, facilitates\, and coaches leaders and owners of organizations to be their best. It’s a journey to independence — teams graduate with mastery\, and keep their organizations strong\, by running on EOS. Amy has led organizations of over 60\,000 members\, managing teams from her seat at the executive table\, such as CEO\, COO\, CFO\, and CIO\, and in a variety of industries both for-profit and not-for-profit\, private and public. \n\n\nAbout 20Fathoms\n20Fathoms is the home of technology and entrepreneurship in Northern Michigan.
