The Effective Art of Networking: Tapping the Power Within Us - The Power of Positive Linking

We already have a network; the problem is many of us don't know how to "tap" into it, to use our network wisely. The single most important networking skill to develop is lateral thinking. We must be open-minded and see "connections" between everyone in our network. Far too many people fail to make the right connection because of narrow thinking.

Who should attend this workshop?
Anyone who wants to unleash the power of networking, and build better relationships.
