Work Our Network
Mission:
Breaking down the way of networking!
Purpose:
Instead of presentations, uncomfortable taglines and intros. We want to deconstruct the entire experience of networking and make sure your experiences whether good or bad are being heard and being able to communicate what you struggle with.
As a group we would work them out together to create a stronger relationships, deeper understanding & potential partners. Celebrating our wins through the art of hardships.
Work Our Network Benefits
Networking is a challenging skill to learn and when you add in all the other stuff entrepreneurs have to do networking moves to the bottom of the list. However networking is the single best solution to getting advice from peers.
Work Our Network is designed to to accomplish at least two thing on your list (yes, there are four things listed below):
Network with business peers.
Learn from others through pre-planned discussion groups.
And if you are in the Huntley, Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills, Algonquin, and other immediate surrounding areas then this networking group is for you!
Provide a safe place for business owners to sit for a second and reflect on next steps.
All business interested people are welcome.
Each month there is, will be, a specific skill/topic to discuss.

Introducing Dayna Kramer to Work Our Network

Join us for a mini workshop on building marketing revenue generation systems from an expert in her field.
Meet the team
Nothing happens without an idea, nothing continues without drive. Work Our Network started as four individuals having coffee in the same town and the same restaurant.
What came of that meeting was a desire to bring a little something different to business professionals in our area. Our goals for Work Our Network isn’t a referral group and we are not a networking group. Although those things can happen at our meetings.
Instead, we liken ourselves to the show Cheers, where everyone knows your name. Some nights we might meet at a local business and share some drinks and discuss some common and not-so-common problems. Some nights we might meet for more of a workshop to grab some skills while grabbing a coffee. Other nights still we may venture out to support a local establishment.
All in a manner to support our main objective, support local businesses while being close to home. No need to go into the big city to level up your profession when McHenry County has so much to offer. With roughly 8,000 businesses in McHenry County plus our neighboring Counties there is plenty of business to go around.
Fill in the form below to get on on our mailing list. Scroll further to see our upcoming events. In the very least the four of us want to meet you and learn about your business.
