CEN DC: Make Networking Work for You
Are you satisfied with how you present yourself at networking events? Do you engage the right people and sustain effective connections? Join us at this CEN DC event where Ruth Schimel, Ph.D., career and life management consultant, will show you how to go beyond the silver bullet approach to networking. You’ll see how to create a better match between who you are and what you want to accomplish.
Why bother participating besides having the fun of connecting with colleagues and friends? In this challenging economy networking is even more critical than ever. Use it when you’re:
· looking for work
· building your business
· looking for ways to improve your focus and self-sufficiency
· seeking new colleagues and friends (not mutually exclusive)
· strengthening current connections and ties
You may struggle or thrive in social situations – or be somewhere in between. Wherever you are, Ruth will show you how to excel at networking based on your own nature and strengths. This experience will give you a wider range of tools and choices to be an effective networker for yourself as well as others.
This CEN event will be very interactive and all participants will have the opportunity to test their new networking knowledge during the evening.
