Connect to Influence

Individuals who know how to expand their influence ultimately set themselves up for greater opportunities in life. While there are many dynamics to influence, none is as powerful as strategically building connections and nurturing mutually supportive relationships.

While most people know they need to be better at networking and community building, they simple don't do it or fail to do it well. This session will challenge you to consider if:
- You are taking the right actions to protect your economic future
- You are doing all you can to remain relevant so you can be an asset to others
- You are properly leveraging the digital space to remain connected and top of mind – so people can find you in their time of need

The future of work is coming and in that future you must represent yourself as a powerful brand and have a network that works for you and for your business.
