In December 2024, Protocol Haus participated in the empowering MEE initiative by Prosperity Lab and the City of San José, California, which aims to promote economic growth and gender equality through entrepreneurship. Our training “Etiquette Fundamentals for Networking” was part of the empowerment strategy.
This workshop is designed to equip entrepreneurs with essential tools to confidently navigate professional networking spaces.

In today’s business landscape, networking is much more than simply attending events or exchanging business cards. It’s about creating meaningful connections that foster growth for your business, brand, and professional aspirations. But let’s be honest, networking can feel daunting, especially when it comes to introducing ourselves or finding the right moment to engage with others. This workshop will demystify those challenges, giving you the techniques and tips you need to become comfortable and fluent in the art of networking.
What did the attendees learn?
- How to introduce ourselves effectively: keys to a concise and compelling introduction that leaves a memorable impression.
- Ice-breaking conversation topics: with topics to kick off friendly and productive conversations.
- Tips on timing and etiquette: when to approach others, how to navigate food and drink areas, and the best practices for exchanging business cards.
Everyone has an inner extrovert—even if you don’t realize it yet! By understanding the fundamentals, rehearsing, and being prepared, networking can become a valuable, even enjoyable, part of your business strategy.
