Were you explicitly taught networking skills in school?

I certainly wasn’t. Good thing they made time for square dancing though. Yes, back in the day at NYC elementary schools, square dancing was on the curriculum. Why no focus on networking, community participation, or relationship building? Maybe educators figured it would happen organically. But I don’t work well with subtleties. If someone had said to me, “Your ability to establish and nurture relationships, from a place of generosity and authenticity will impact every area of your life,” I absolutely would have paid attention (lol, and tried to get an A, because that’s how I’m wired). How about you?

Well, we are making up for lost time with our upcoming webinar “Purposeful Participation: How to Nurture the Full Potential of Your Community Memberships” On November 16th at 12:00 PM ET, you will hear from our panel of community experts who lead and guide GIANT communities, on what it takes to get the most out of your networking efforts.
