Networking Naturally



When it comes to meeting and connecting with others, there are two kinds of people…those who love it and those who don’t. Love it or not…connecting with others helps you create your dreams and reach your goals. Whether you’re looking for a new job, clients for your business, a car mechanic or child care, knowing others makes the process easier. Unfortunately, traditional networking can sometimes be an uncomfortable as well as a time and money-wasting experience. In this session you’ll learn how to transform “cocktail chatter” into meaningful opportunities and to be more comfortable and at ease the next time you walk into a room full of strangers.
 
Ginny Robertson is President of Live Your Life On Purpose, an organization that provides women with information and opportunities to help them lead richer, fuller lives.
