Making Connections that Last

Having close connections is vital to our wellbeing and even linked to physical health. At the same time, there are many people who lack the skills required to build meaningful friendships. In this Meetup Live event, we’ll be discussing strategies for networking that will be a boon to your professional and personal life.

Join Susan McPherson, author of The Lost Art of Connecting for a discussion on how to build meaningful connections by going back to the basics. Learn how to tap into your humanity to be more intentional about finding and keeping new contacts. You’ll also learn how to effectively gather people together and become a better listener. Plus, stick around for Q&A.

Agenda:
Introductions (5 mins)
Fireside chat with Susan (40 mins)
