Creating Connections: The Power of Networking for the non-networker

Networking is crucial in business, especially today. The "build it before you need it mantra" has never been more relevant. As young professionals we are continually challenged with increased competition, higher performance standards, and higher pressure.

We must continue to explore new ways to promote our organizations, identify and create mutually beneficial partnerships, sell our organization's benefits, and increase our overall business connections.

MN Society of CPA’s has partnered with Dale Carnegie Training to offer this exclusive Creating Connections workshop to teach you the practical tools necessary to develop your networking skills, create a web of champions for you and your business, and maximize the value of networking events you attend.

In this workshop, you will:

• Learn the strategies that great networkers employ
• Create a brief, memorable introduction
• Learn a method to have a good, purposeful conversation with anyone
• Network with other young professionals in attendance
