Entrepreneurial Network Luncheon Will Be About Blogging

NORWALK — Blogging, like branding, is storytelling. Compelling stories create loyal readers and clients, but how do entrepreneurs develop fresh ideas to sustain a loyal readership?

The Entrepreneurial Woman’s Network luncheon invites business professionals to learn some creative techniques designed to harness creativity, develop stories, and tap into concrete specifics that can be turned into compelling blog posts.

Featured speakers at the February 16 event include Robin Horton, founder of Urban Gardens (www.urbangardensweb.com), a green lifestyle and design blog that showcases innovative and eco-friendly designs, trends, and ideas for stylish urban gardens and small spaces.

Urban Gardens is the recipient of the Platinum Creativity Award, the Garden Writers Association Gold and Silver Awards, and was nominated for a Webby.

James Navé will also present. He has traveled the globe as a spoken word poet, strategist, and creativity consultant. He has taught at The Artist’s Way Creativity Camp in Taos, N.M., as well as Artist’s Way Creativity courses at The New York Open Center.

The luncheon is Thursday, February 16, from noon to 2 pm at the Dolce Center, 32 Weed Avenue. Cost is $30 for members; $39 for nonmembers. Register by noon on Monday, February 6, at www.ewn-ct.org; walk-ins are not accepted.
