On Friday August 15th at Noon, Nick Hazell and I introduced 26 CNG Members to Virtual Speed Networking, the first time offered in the States. Nick has been doing this in Europe for a long time now and is highly thought of there!
I was so excited (albeit a little apprehensive) about how this would work and whether people would like it and want to do it. We had 100 people view the invitation and 26 people signed up, and if you know anything about percentages of folks that you hope to get, its 1%, you heard that right, be we had 25% of the folks sign up.

Here is some of the feedback from that event:
“I love this, it’s so much fun” (Texted from my friend while she was speed networking),
“I loved doing this what a great idea.”
“I hope CNG will do this again on a regular basis.”
“Very valuable and an innovative and unique way to grow your network!”

This is Speed Networking:
CNG and Dee Dawdy have combined to offer you this new opportunity to meet other like-minded folks in our field! You’ve heard of Speed Dating, well this is Speed Networking, and we are pretty sure it could be the wave of the future, let’s ride it together!!!!!
Transform Your Professional Network in Just One Hour

The inaugural Online Speed Networking for Behavioral Health Professionals, hosted by Capital Networking Group – a game-changing opportunity to accelerate your career connections.

Why This Matters: In our industry, the right connection can mean the difference between a struggling practice and a thriving one. Whether you’re seeking referral partners, collaboration opportunities, or simply want to expand your professional circle, this focused networking format delivers results fast.

How It Works:

• Brief 1:1 Conversations with fellow behavioral health professionals – therapists, coaches, psychiatrists, clinic leaders, and service providers
• You control the connections – decide during each chat whether you’d like to exchange information
• Go at your own pace – choose to join the next introduction when you’re ready, no rushing between conversations
• Streamlined follow-up – receive contact details only for those you mutually connected with during the session
• Quality over quantity – focus on meaningful conversations rather than collecting business cards

Real Outcomes: Participants regularly report new referrals, partnerships, and collaborations within days of attending similar events.

The Investment: Just $21 for access to connections that could transform your practice.

As our very first event, you’ll be part of launching something special for our behavioral health community. We’re excited to see what connections and opportunities emerge when professionals like you come together with intention.

Ready to stop networking alone and start building relationships that fuel your success?

Our sponsors were Craig James and Angie Harris from Insight Into Action Therapy.

They gave us a nice presentation. We had 30 wonderful folks attending and Shayna, Shannon and I did a nice little Valentines theme and had some prizes to give away, in the name of Love and appreciation for the group. Lots of good networking and laughs were had by all.

See our lovely pictures and please join us in the future on the first Friday of every month.

I look forward to seeing you in the future.
