Connecting
Talking and communicating effectively are very different than the ability to "connect". We all know that old saying "It's who you know" - which is partly true, but the rest should say "It's who you know that you have connected with and left an impression on".  In the Connecting webinar course we will discuss how to turn an introduction into a true and real connection, and how to create more opportunities to connect with those around you on a more meaningful level.
Presenter: Kori Clark
Held Live: March 5th at 9pm (est)
