Walk & Talk: Networking for Solo Consultants

Hey hey! Let's ditch the ballroom and the badge lanyards.

This is networking the way it actually works — side by side, at a walking pace, with people who get what it's like to run a business of one.

We'll meet in front of The Village Squire in downtown West Dundee, then take an easy loop along the Fox River — through the Riverwalk, across the bridge into East Dundee, and back.

About 45 minutes, flat and paved, zero fitness requirements.

Along the way, we'll rotate walking partners a few times so you actually meet everyone (not just the person you stood next to first). I'll toss out a conversation prompt for each leg so you can skip the small talk and get straight to the good stuff — what you're working on, where you're stuck, and who you're looking to meet.

Then we land back at the Squire for lunch on their riverfront patio. Order what you want, separate checks, no awkward math.

Who this is for: B2B Solo consultants, fractional leaders, and independent service providers who want real relationships — the kind that turn into referrals, collaborations, and "let me introduce you to..." emails.

The details:
📍 Meet in front of The Village Squire — 125 Washington St, West Dundee
🕥 10:30 AM sharp (we start walking at 10:40)
🚶 ~45 minute riverside loop, easy pace
🍴 Lunch on the patio at 11:30 (pay your own way)
👟 Wear comfy shoes. If it rains, we skip the walk and head straight to lunch at 11:30.

Spots are capped at 12 so lunch stays one table, one conversation.
