The Power of Connection:
       Lean In, Step Up, Make it Work!

This advanced workshop is directed to those who have networked before and know the value of connection.  Now it’s time to talk about the impediments we face psychologically, practically and socially and find the solutions that will bring us to the next level of our professional effectiveness.

• Why aren’t your networking attempts resulting in more business?
• Why do you still avoid certain situations that might be good for you?
• What makes you uncomfortable and how do you overcome it?
• What is holding you back from being a leader in your field?
• Where do the men fit into this?

In this straight shooting, highly interactive workshop led by two of Vancouver’s most respected networkers we will be going deep and getting our hands dirty.

Warning: Do not attempt this workshop if you are not willing to advance your skills and use your networking power to become more successful.
