✔ Creator of Networking School
✔ Speaker on modern networking in a hyperconnected world
I’ve seen one truth play out again and again:
Opportunities don’t go to the most qualified person.
They go to the person people know, remember, and trust.
The Real Problem With Networking
Let’s be honest.
You know networking matters.
You know relationships open doors.
But how it’s been taught doesn’t feel right.
Elevator pitches feel:
Forced
Awkward
Transactional
Easy to forget
And yet, every January, we dust off the same pitch and hope this year it works.
Here’s the truth:
No one wants to be pitched.
And pitching doesn’t help people remember you when opportunities show up.
In today’s hyperconnected world, being visible isn’t about being louder.
It’s about being clear.
What You’ll Learn in This Live Experience
Why pitching yourself is holding you back
You’ll learn why elevator pitches fail—and why they work against trust, connection, and referrals.
How to get known for what you do best
I’ll walk you through how to create your own Known For statement—a natural, authentic way to introduce yourself so people instantly understand what you do.
How to use it everywhere opportunities begin
Networking events, LinkedIn, introductions, conversations, follow-ups—so you’re showing up with confidence and consistency.
This isn’t just theory.
You’ll create it and use it live.
Hi, I’m Mindy East
Networking Strategist | Speaker | Founder of Networking School
I’ve spent nearly three decades in HR, recruiting, and leadership—and I can tell you this with certainty:
Talented people miss opportunities every day not because they aren’t good enough,
but because they aren’t clearly known.
When I had to rebuild my own network from scratch, I realized something powerful:
Networking doesn’t have to feel awkward or salesy to work.
It needs to be intentional, authentic, and human.
That’s exactly what I teach inside Networking School—and what you’ll experience in this live training.
Client Reviews
“Mindy is the most natural networking expert I've ever met."
Before a huge conference, Mindy gave me simple strategies that helped me feel confident and prepared. I left with genuine connections and a clear follow-up plan. Networking finally felt easy—and it worked.
- Emily, Founder of The 10k Email Club
"When my post went viral, Mindy made sure I was ready."
After a LinkedIn post hit 400k impressions overnight, I was so glad Mindy had helped me optimize my profile. Those tweaks brought 200+ subscribers, 1500+ followers, and 100+ connections I never would’ve captured otherwise. If Mindy says update your LinkedIn—do it!

"This completely changed how I think about networking."
Mindy’s insights opened my eyes to new opportunities for both me and my company. I left with a fresh approach to networking that feels natural and effective—and it’s already paying off.

This Is Your Year to
Be Known
New year. New goals. New opportunities.
But none of them happen if the right people don’t understand what you do—or remember you when it matters.
If you’re ready to stop blending in
If you’re tired of forcing pitches that go nowhere
If you want opportunities to start finding you
This is where it begins.
