Jen Mueller, Fox Sports News Northwest reporter and
Talk Sporty To Me blogger (
http://talksportytome.com/blog/) will teach an intensive, small group, hands-on workshop custom-designed exclusively for
GoGirl Academy, Wednesday, March 23, 2011, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. called
Talk Sporty Workshop presented by GoGirl Academy at the Maxwell Hotel, 300 Roy Street, Seattle, WA 98109.
The languages of sports and business are inextricably intertwined. We "hit a home run," "play hardball" and need a "game plan" all the time. But it isn't just a matter of understanding terminology. It's the way sports-savvy business people use sports talk as a way to bond with client prospects, warm up a room before a presentation and entertain customers at a ball game. Few people can talk sports like Talk Sporty To Me Blogger, Jen Mueller, a Fox Sports Network host and reporter for Seahawks, Mariners, Cougars, Beavers and Husky games. And few understand what being able to talk sports can do for women in business.
Jen's intensive workshop is packed with small-group activities, hands-on exercises and individual work that will improve communication skills and build stronger relationships. Participants will:
- Learn why sports conversations improve the "know, like and trust" factor in professional relationships, and how that leads to more opportunities and increased effectiveness.
- Identify ways to establish lasting relationships using short, meaningful interactions.
- Gain an understanding of the ways men and women communicate differently and how you can overcome this.
- Discover how sports conversations are the most effective approach to networking.
- Arm yourself with tools to avoid awkward conversations.
This exclusive workshop, developed for GoGirl Academy is open to only 12 participants. To register visit the

Jen Mueller talks about
Talk Sporty to Me: (
http://www.talksportytome.com/ )
In the fall of 2008, I was approached by a group of business women with a problem. By all accounts, these women were very successful. They were smart and well educated. These women have established solid careers, and had earned the respect of their co-workers and clients. But despite all their success, they felt they were missing out on valuable opportunities to expand their client base - at sporting events. The women were rarely invited to entertain clients at baseball games, or football games. Those same women often felt intimidated when conversations turned from business to sports. Their dilemma led to the creation of Talk Sporty to Me. I'm pleased to report that the 5 step checklist made an immediate impact with the women. I know it will do the same for you.
Since its inception, Talk Sporty to Me has been featured on KING 5, KOMO 4, KMPS 94.1, and MOViN 92.5. Watch the video profile of Talk Sporty To Me by
