If you are like most of us, the art of networking is difficult. How do we approach strangers in a business or social setting and engage them in more than idle chit chat? What are the unwritten rules of proper networking?

Networking is not just for those looking for business - or new employment. Diane Darling will explain just how we can all become effective networkers.

This is one dinner session you should NOT miss!

  • Are you looking to meet more people in your field?

  • Are you wondering how to initiate a networking lunch?

  • Are you unsure how to follow-up after a networking meeting?

Effective networking can help. Please join us on April 7th for this special program.

Presenter

Diane Darling
Founder and CEO, Effective Networking, Inc.

As principal consultant for Effective Networking, Inc., Diane Darling founded the company on the premise that everyone can learn to network - they just need to find their own style.

Combining interactive training, strategic planning and an exploration of the natural fears of networking, Darling demystifies the process by providing techniques that can be immediately implemented.

She has received rave reviews for her seminars and speeches and is increasingly sought after as an expert resource on the subject of networking.

McGraw-Hill commissioned her to write the definitive book on networking called The Networking Survival Guide, which was published in April 2003 and went into a 2nd printing just 90 days after the book hit the shelves. The book has been translated into Korean and Taiwanese. In 2005, McGraw-Hill published her 2nd book, Networking for Career Success, which has since been translated into Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Portuguese, and Thai.

Diane has appeared on NBC Nightly News, in The Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, and The Boston Globe. She is a member of the CEO Club. Darling is also a columnist for the Boston Business Journal. She recently taught in the MBA program at Boston University.
