Networking Social with Nancy Gamlin-Legere |
| |
On Tuesday April 13th, our after five social welcomed Nancy Gamlin-Legere
from Concept Communications who facilitated a Networking session.
The evening was fun and filled with useful tips and advice on the
skills required to network as effectively as possible and all of the
benefits that networks can bring. There were snacks and drinks and
interactive conversation to help bring the evening to life. Nancy
is a powerful speaker and has a sincere manner and approach, we are
very grateful to her for sharing her insights with us - those who
did not attend this free training event missed out on plenty of useful
information.
Nancy will be back with us for another Networking session in June
at our After 5 Social. If you missed her the first time make sure
you attend this next session. You will be glad that you did. Check
the calendar or the advanced planning section of the newsletter for
more details.

Presidents Message
We enjoyed one of the most exciting and knowledgeable “Business
after 5” sessions April 13th that we have ever had. Nancy Gamlin-Legere
facilitated an excellent networking session that was both fun and
beneficial in learning new ways to build business. Instead of wondering
how some become so successful in their business, we learned how it
is done and how to apply the same techniques that will make us more
successful. The interaction with the people we encounter during each
day is probably one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to promote
ourselves and our business. Like other networking sessions that I
have experienced, it reinforces the fact that the more people that
you meet and present a positive attitude to, the more successful you
are in your own business.
I would like to thank the Town of Riverview for sponsoring us for
this session in Networking. We all learned many new things and enjoyed
the session. It was appreciated by all of those who attended.
