Is networking something you love or is it one of those things you do because people tell you that you must network? It’s true that networking is the number one way to find a job and build a business or career. Do you look at networking as an opportunity for fun or something akin to torture? If networking is something you avoid or even hate, then this workshop is designed for you.

Networking is a powerful tool that can be used to help you accomplish your business, career, and/or personal goals.

Why is networking hard for you?

• Do you worry about how to start a conversation i.e. what to say that won't be just a verbal resume, what to say to make people want to talk with you?
• Are you shy or just don't like meeting new people in large groups or other social situations?
• Have you been told you need to network to succeed, but you would rather avoid it because you dislike it or feel really uncomfortable?
• Do you work long hours, attend too many meetings and would rather just go home and relax?

Gail Sussman Miller of Inspired Choice has delivered this interactive, transformational workshop over 50 times with great results. You will rank yourself on a 1-10 scale, to see how much you love networking before and after each session. Most move up the networking comfort scale at least 1-3 points with some moving as much as 8 points! The major outcome you’ll receive is a shift in mindset, a broadened understanding of what networking is at its core, and concrete techniques to make the process easier and more effective.

The major outcome you’ll receive is a shift in mindset, a broadened understanding of what networking is at its core, and concrete techniques to make the process easier and more effective.
