“To build your business, you just need to go out and network” We’ve all heard this well-meaning advice along our career journey. You’ve attended many events, exchanged business cards and…nothing happens. What are the missing pieces between building relationships and creating revenue?

Join us in our interactive workshop “The Art of Professional Networking: Do You Have Good F.O.R.M?” and learn actionable ways to go from staring at your empty calendar to having purposeful conversations that will grow your relationships and your business. You will leave with an appreciation for investing your time with the right intention and booked appointments. Please bring your calendar (digital or paper – whatever you use consistently).
