Sound familiar?The networking problem
- She walks into a room full of opportunity and goes straight for the food table.
- She's asked "so what do you do?" and gives a title instead of a story. The conversation dies.
- She leaves with a stack of business cards and follows up with exactly zero of them.
- She knows networking matters — but it feels like performing, and she didn't sign up to be an actress.
- She's brilliant at her work. She just never learned how to talk about it.
What We Build Together
Three tools. One hour.
Completely practical.
01
The Mindset Reset
A quick, low-pressure activity that shifts participants from "performing" to "connecting" before the skill-building begins. Pairs or full group. Zero awkward icebreakers.
02
The Clarity Exercise: Who Am I?
Participants write and say out loud a one-sentence clarity statement using the What / Who / Why framework. No more defaulting to a job title when someone asks.
03
The Elevator Pitch Builder
A fill-in template — 30-second and 60-second versions — practiced out loud with a partner. Everyone leaves with a pitch they've actually said, not just written.
Every attendee walks out with:
A written, practiced elevator pitch — 30-second and 60-second versions with a fill-in template
A clarity statement — their answer to "who are you and what do you do?" that actually starts conversations
The Networking Game Plan Checklist — a one-pager with before, during, and after action items
3 follow-up message templates — LinkedIn request, email follow-through, and a 30-day check-in
A 3-step mindset reset they can use before any networking event — no app, no prep required
The Difference This Makes
What changes after one hour
01
They stop shrinking in rooms they belong in
When you know what to say and how to say it, walking into a room shifts from an anxiety trigger to an actual opportunity. That's what clarity does.
02
Networking stops feeling like a performance
The workshop reframes networking as connection — and when women stop trying to impress and start trying to connect, everything changes.
03
They actually follow up this time
With message templates and a game plan checklist in hand, the follow-through doesn't fall through the cracks. The relationship doesn't die in the parking lot.

The Networking Game Plan Checklist
Every attendee leaves with this one-pager. Three phases. Zero fluff.
Before the Event
- Review your 30-sec pitch out loud — once
- Set a specific goal (e.g., meet 3 new people)
- Check the attendee list if available
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early — easier to connect before the room fills
- Have your business cards or LinkedIn QR ready
- Do a 60-second mindset reset: "I'm here to connect, not impress."
During the Event
- Ask more than you talk
- Use your clarity statement when asked what you do
- Listen for one specific thing per person you can reference later
- Jot notes on the back of business cards immediately
- End conversations gracefully: "I don't want to keep you — can we connect on LinkedIn?"
- Give yourself permission to take breaks
After the Event
- Follow up within 48 hours
- Personalize every message — reference something specific
- Connect on LinkedIn with a note, not the default message
- Offer something of value if relevant — an article, an intro, a resource
- Set a reminder to check in with your top 2–3 contacts in 30 days
- Note what worked — refine your pitch for next time

Your Facilitator
Hi, I'm Mihika.
I spent 16 years in internal audit — building systems, leading teams, and watching brilliant women talk themselves out of their own visibility. I know what it looks like when a high-performer has every skill in the room but can't answer "so what do you do?" without stumbling.
I created One Mighty Mama because burnout, confidence gaps, and the inability to communicate your own value aren't personality flaws — they're systems problems. And systems problems have solutions.
This workshop is built from real tools I've developed, tested, and refined with women in risk management, internal audit, healthcare, nonprofits, and everything in between. It's warm, practical, and it works.
Stay mighty, Mihika
