October 24, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeAbout This Event
You’re trying to build your client list, land your dream job or make new friends. But the idea of networking makes you cringe. The thought of going to another event–pushing your card in front of people, engaging in superficial conversations while wearing clothes that don’t reflect your awesomeness–is exhausting. It doesn’t have to be this way. Networking Doesn’t have to Suck is a workshop that empowers you to build community while being true to who you are.
Please bring a notebook and your preferred scheduler (planner, laptop, etc.)
