The ability to meet, mingle and make connections is essential in our personal and professional lives. Those who are engaged with their colleagues, co-workers and clients and can “work a room” enjoy the benefits of knowledge, leads, ideas and information that is shared informally and contribute to company, career and consultants’ business growth. Maintaining our interpersonal skills in an impersonal, Internet world is difficult, yet critical for success.
By participating in this interactive program, you will develop the tools and strategies to:
- Break the ice at meetings, conventions and social functions
- Turn Small Talk to BIG Talk to Build Business
- Exit graciously from conversations
- Build conversation that builds rapport, referrals and relationships
- Connect and stay engaged with others in the work place and personal space
- Decide the appropriate mode for the message
- Connect with colleagues, community and co-workers
