Dear WAM Members and Friends,

Networking is a vital part of both your personal and professional success in this challenging business environment. However, unlike what most people think, networking is not about asking for something.

Join us on April 25th for a "hands-on" one-hour seminar on advanced networking strategies. Learn how to master the 4 major stages of networking. It's not just about meeting people, but also about making a lasting impression! Get practical suggestions on how to incorporate networking into your day-to-day life. Learn to identify and attract the people who can support you.

Guest speaker Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio, career coach and
co-founder of SixFigureStart.


Do these questions resonate with you?: Do you know how to leverage and maximize the power of your network?  Do you know how to introduce yourself and develop rapport with people? Are you clear? Do people remember you?

This workshop includes:
*       The four stages of networking;
*       How to maintain and deepen your network;
*       Why mentors should be a vital part of your network;
*       How to network during different venues:  industry mixers,  
        business meetings, conferences and training sessions;
*       Most common networking blunders.
  
We look forward to seeing you at this exciting event! Space is limited in the Board Room so sign up today.
