Are you harnessing the power of your social network? Building business relationships is not just about a nice lunch out, a game of golf or water cooler conversations. Even as you think about your fellow members of Western Pension, is the extent of your interactions a quick hello at our monthly luncheons?  Relationships often determine the business opportunities you will be presented with, the future job offers you will get and the new business that you will win.  Join us for this interactive session where we will explore:

• Who’s missing from your network?
• The concept of “dripping” to build a network
• Effectively using social media to strengthen your network
• Sharing your knowledge and network to create and maintain real connections
• Being human at work: your single biggest differentiator
• A weekly plan to leverage networking to drive results
  

You will leave this session with actionable ideas to implement right away that will lead to more authentic relationships and greater success and happiness in your work. Immediately following this session you can practice your new skills with your fellow Western Pension members as we watch the Rockies take on the Diamondbacks.
