Relationships for Group and Career Success - Building your Network Now

Presented by Jeffrey A. Kaplan, D.M. - Managing Director, Ferrazzi Greenlight

Worried about your job? Don't. Instead learn to build a support network that will ensure your success in any economic environment. This presentation will provide a practical and tactical guide to become more effective at work, accelerate career advancement, and take control of your own destiny-not by going it alone but by learning to rapidly accelerate the creation of deep relationships with the people who hold the keys to your dreams.

This session is based on three key concepts:

1. Relationships are critical to personal and professional success.

2. Most individuals and organizations lack the number, quantity, and level of  relationships necessary to achieve their aspirations.

3. With the right mindsets, processes, tactics, and tools, people can rapidly identify, connect, grow, and nurture the relationships that matter most.

Don't be left behind as we move out of the Information Age into what some thought leaders are calling the Conceptual Age, in which emotion, empathy, and cooperation are critical success traits. This is the NEW ECONOMICS OF SUCCESS, to help you leverage the advantages of an ever more connected world.
