To help you figure out how to maximize your impact\, join us for a frank discussion about networking during the holiday season. \nLed by Eric Byrd\, SBDC Manager and Lead Business Advisor\, this informative and entertaining session will help you: \nLearn why (and how) to plan for the holiday season’s events\, so you can prevent being overwhelmed.\nDiscover simple\, actionable techniques for meeting the right people and engaging in meaningful conversations\, rather than wasting time with the same old chit-chat over and over again. \nCreate your own plan of action to evaluate activities so you connect and expand your network\, instead of winging it and realizing later you’ve just recycled old conversations that lead you nowhere. \nEric has taught over 10\,000 professionals how to improve their networking skills through his online and in-person training programs. As the manager of the local Small Business Development Center\, he works with small business owners every week on ways to improve outreach to customers and partners alike.
