How to Make Awesome Connections and Be Successful at Any ConferenceMay 20, 2012

As a Branding Expert, I spend my time coaching professionals, attending conferences and participating in workshops. It is amazing how many people attend these types of events without making the ‘right connections’ or even worst ‘no connections’.

Don't let this happen to you. Not only will I provide you with tips and strategies on how to leverage your time and investment, you will receive resource material you can add to your library.
