Hard Hats to Corner Offices - Everyone needs to Network |
| 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. |
Country Springs Hotel, Pewaukee |
Leah DeLaney Karge of The Business Journal will make a breakfast presentation to SMPS Wisconsin members and guests on November 19.
No more asking about the kids. No more awkward entrances into a room. No more intimidation. No more feelings that 'I'm the only person that doesn't know anyone'. Networking doesn't need to be a fate worse than death. It is time to make Networking work for you.Â
This session will give you some very fundamental and practical strategies for working a room that are both easy and comfortable for any person in the organization from the CEO to the intern, from in the extrovert to the introvert. But don't take it from us:
"Kudos on the Networking Training, you were a big hit! You obviously had a positive impact on our guys, since I received lots of positive feedback. Here's an excerpt from a senior VP's email: "What an enjoyable hour. I thought the session yesterday afternoon was just great! The presentation and points that were given were very pertinent to what we do everyday."
Thanks again for arming our group with the tools needed to begin the networking process." Kim DeWitt, Director of Business Development at Boldt Construction
Hard hats to corner offices – everyone needs to Network. Now make it work for you. |
