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.
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.
Speaker
Leah DeLaney Karge has been with The Business Journal for over 10 years, most recently in the roll of Director of Advertising & Business Development. Leah specializes in making business to business connections between area professionals through a combination of media marketing and networking.
Leah is a graduate of the University of Iowa, in Communications and Political Science. In addition to The Business Journal, Leah has worked for the Disney Corporation, the largest area law firm, Foley & Lardner and a national staffing company.
Her approach is simple. People work with and buy from people they like and trust. However, in these times of everything in fast-forward it is key to network in an efficient manor that helps the individual make a good impression, but more importantly gain knowledge that will help advance a business relationship. Practiced networking habits are at the heart of this success.
