Everyday Relationship Building: A Broad River Gathering

Does the word “networking” make you think of suits and forced interactions? Not anymore! In our combination workshop/end-of-year party, we’ll explore how to build genuine human connection in a casual and organic way – no corporatese, no blah blah blah, and no BS.

In this interactive workshop led by master story weaver, Deb Pagnotta participants will:

• Learn how to network organically, using tips and tricks for various settings such as at the supermarket, with new acquaintances, and with new colleagues.
• Learn how to share your true stories which make you “sticky.”
• Practice your skills with the group through break-outs and prompted discussions
• Walk away feeling confident and excited about your newfound networking abilities
• Enjoy light snacks and beverages
• Receive a special discount for an hour of individual, tailored online story coaching with Deb Pagnotta (Broad River attendee price is $88; retail price is $250)

Be sure to bring at least 3 business or personal cards, flyers, or anything else to help people remember you!
