Fisherman Sweaters, Pink Cadillacs & Chicken Poop: Dalene’s Reflection As A Networker

Growing up as the oldest of seven daughters in rural Nova Scotia, Dalene Allen learned entrepreneurship at her mother's handcraft shop, "The Killick." This early exposure to business relationships became the foundation for her remarkable career through retail merchandising, executive positions, and eventually leading Business Network International (BNI) across three Atlantic provinces. Dalene shares game-changing perspectives on networking that challenge conventional wisdom. Rather than approaching events with sales in mind, she advocates for human connection first—"When you build the relationship, business happens organically." Her three-part interaction formula has proven to have generated millions in business for herself and others.For those who dread networking events, Dalene offers practical wisdom born from experience. Whether you're looking to grow your business, advance your career, or simply build more meaningful connections, Dalene's approach to "Networking Naturally" provides a refreshing alternative to traditional networking tactic, not to mention her own personal story has a lot more twists and turns than you may think! Join us for a pint at The Clayton Park Bar & Grill, as we uncover what exactly makes Dalene so great at bringing people together. Send us Fan Mail Your Dream Home Does Not Have to Be Just A Dream.
