Networking Insight

Reminder - Chicago Networking Workshop - 12/16

As a reminder, I am co-hosting the below workshop on 12/16:

While there are 86,400 seconds in a day, it takes 10 or less for others to form an impression of you. These decisions are based on your image, a combination of your appearance and behavior. Because you are in charge of how you look and how you act, you also are in charge of your personal and business success. Learn how your clothing color, style and fit and your walk, posture, handshakes, eye contact and facial expressions are among ingredients that govern your professional presence.  The words you choose enhance the positive impression you are creating nonverbally. Choose them wisely and make them another critical element in building relationships for the long term.
