TOMORROW - Professional EDGE - May 9th


BE CONNECTED for Effective Networking:
How to build Relationships Anywhere You go
Presented by Pete Machalek, SagePresence
May 9, 2017
7:30am - 9:00am
Vadnais Heights Country Inn and Suites
Most of us recognize that we're supposed to network -- we hear it from so many experts, but nobody tells us what the word actually means. So it can be hard to even try. And if we do, we show up and burn time because we don't know what to do and we don't know what to say. All of this can create a lot of anxiety that can short-circuit any productive conversation.

A continental breakfast will be served and space is limited so please register HERE to join us and BE CONNECTED.
