Events
We have a number of phenomenal events held throughout the year.
Networking, important in the most normal of times, is even more critical (and more challenging) in the current environment. But how do you network successfully, in a virtual world, while still seeming authentic and sincere? And how you do you build your network while managing other priorities and responsibilities? We invite you to join us as we dispel the common myths associated with networking (yes, we’re talking about the awkward, uncomfortable, sometimes paralyzing feeling networking can sometimes bring!) and offer a new perspective: approachability. You’ll learn easy strategies to effectively form alliances, strengthen relationships, and make the process fun and rewarding. As they say, timing is everything. The best time to build your network is now – so don’t miss this great program packed with helpful ideas, and perhaps the opportunity to walk away with another connection or two in your network.
