For You As You Are

Whether you love to work a room or dread networking events

The techniques in this course are not about turning you into a different person. If you don't want to go to a network event every not -- you don't need to. In fact, we wouldn't even recommend it. We will focus on the network you already have and give you the strategies to develop a strategic plan that works for you.
