Jump to: JOBS | EVENTS | COACHING KITS
We’re heading into one of those busy times of year — when all the final school events are squeezed into the last months before summer, spring fundraisers are held, and sports are again in full swing.
It’s a wonderful time to network.
Unfortunately, networking often feels icky and awkward for most people. It doesn’t have to. I think about it like tending to my garden — nurturing, planning, enjoying. The more time I spend with it, the more it gives back.
So I was thrilled when one of our coaches, Laura Riordan, penned this post on When to Activate Your Network. It covers the steps you can take to make the most of interactions, and leave the unease of your efforts behind.
IT IS YOUR TURN! 👏
