Networking That Works
Whether you’re looking to grow a small business, find your next job, or simply expand your circles of influence, you need to be intentional about building your network. Too often, people approach networking as a necessary evil, rather than as the enjoyable, fruitful experience it truly can be. This session will uncover how introverts and extroverts alike can benefit from a fresh perspective and put newfound strategies to immediate use! Presented by Erich Kurschat.
