(Australia-NewsWire.Com, May 30, 2015 ) Adelaide, Australia -- Savvy and progressive women in business understand the importance of professional networking. Successful women's networking events allow like-minded female entrepreneurs an opportunity to strengthen and grow their business by gaining new perspectives and insights in to their work from outside sources.
According to women's networking expert Miriam Castilla, there are vastly different benefits for women to take from both female and mixed gender networking groups. With each providing different opportunities and energies, Miriam encourages women to consider what their intended networking goals are from various meetings and events, to determine the best fit for what they want to achieve.
"The most obvious difference in women's networking groups compared to men's and mixed, is the huge shift in energy. When men talk about their business, they tend to skim the surface and avoid giving away details. Men are usually quite guarded and they present a version of themselves that's controlled and deliberate," says Miriam. "Women on the other hand are more open and want to know details. They relate to each other differently, on a closer and more intimate level." www.miriamcastilla.com
As the author of 'Today's Woman - Life Balance Secrets', Miriam believes women in business should always try and develop relationships with others that are based on 'co-petition' and not competition. She describes 'co-petition' as working alongside people that help you feel energised and excited; who have a level of comfort about them, and bring about feeling of trust.
"While competition is having a fear of others' success, which is tiring and draining, co-petition is all about working together, helping one another and collaborating cooperatively. It's where female entrepreneurs are happy to refer businesses to people they respect, and forthcoming with advice to create opportunities for growth and greatness," says Miriam. "Women with co-petition mindsets often feel empowered by joint venture opportunities, and the idea of giving back." www.miriamcastilla.com
