Attending a networking event, whether in-person or remotely, can be fraught with discomfort for even the skillful networker. Listen to Debby and Greg discuss simple techniques you can use to make your time at the next business gathering be more efficient and effective. Sometimes it’s merely a matter of knowing what to do when. Big thanks to Doug Stout and Nicole Dietrich for their questions which sparked the conversation.
