Savvy Networking - The Art of Mixing & Mingling for Business


The New York Times lists the #1 fear in North America as no longer public speaking, but walking into a room full of strangers and having to make conversation. Shyness is on the increase and because most of us fear rejection, we hang back and wait for others to make the first move.

For organizations and individuals, the ability to communicate and network effectively can boost your profile and engender better business alliances, client relations and success. This session will benefit personal and professional life by providing simple strategies to quickly build rapport with others, overcome shyness, start small talk and take it to BIG talk, enter and exit conversations with finesse and nurture those new relationships.

After this program the participants will go away with:

• A greater understanding of the importance of external and internal networking.
