About our Session
How to Work a Room for In Person Networking
This session incorporates lessons learned from 25 years of business networking and teaching. “Working” or “networking in” a room is something that many people don’t feel comfortable with, and many do not even know where to begin. In this session we will go over some techniques that you can use, hands on, to become more comfortable in “working” a room. We will also be working on your Elevator Pitches, also known as the 30 Second Commercial, and have some time to practice it on others as well as practicing the proper handshake, maintaining good eye contact and more.
