Networking for Success
Course Description
Overview
Business networking is an effective and efficient way for business people to connect, develop meaningful relationships, and grow their businesses.

They come from being interested in helping others, in listening, and in purposefully meeting and introducing people to one another. In this two-day course, participants will learn the essential ingredients for business networking, including in-person, people-centered connections and online spaces such as LinkedIn.Objectives
