Not fond of networking? Secretly feel it’s difficult and draining to do – in spite of being important for your career? You are not alone – about 40% of people agree with you.
AND, it makes sense… Most people never learned how to network. School taught them how to do jobs - not build relationships.
The good news: networking is much less stressful when you know how to do it.
You just need a safe space to learn some simple how-tos and get some reps with other people. Like this Ultimate Networking Workshop.
Join Cynthia D’Amour, Engagement Strategist at People Power Unlimited, to learn and practice how to start an engaging conversation with anyone, how to leave a conversation with grace and confidence - and how to work a room with ease.
The last 30 minutes of this workshop will be like a mini-networking event so you can boost your confidence even more by applying what you learned right away – and meet even more people in a safe environment.
Plan to roll up your sleeves, join in guided practice with other participants – and have fun meeting some new A2Y Chamber friends!
