Miami Networking Event

A networking event in Miami where Avolta once again joined forces with Pernod Ricard and Women in Travel Retail (WiTR) to co-create another great industry moment at Pernod Ricard’s beautiful Miami office.  Other partners also poured their support into the experience, with L’Oréal again offering updated professional headshots after great feedback from last year and Essence contributed thoughtful takeaway gifts for everyone attending.

Now in its second year, attendance nearly doubled from the first event, which was both exciting and a reminder of how much appetite there is for opportunities like this to connect.

To enrich the experience, a guest speaker led a thoughtful session on “The Silent Load.” Her message centered around four meaningful takeaways:

•            Pause before committing: A brief moment of reflection before saying “yes” leads to more   intentional decisions.

•            Breathe: Conscious breathing helps regulate stress and avoid emotional overwhelm.

•            Delegate: Sharing responsibilities is a strength, not a weakness.

•            Be proactive, not reactive: Responding intentionally rather than urgently results in healthier communication and outcomes.

To help keep these reflections alive beyond the event, attendees received small keepsakes, including a place to jot down intentions and choose their personal word of the year.
