Description

Building a professional network is critical for career success. But the process can be confusing and frustrating. Grover Cleveland, the author of “Swimming Lessons for Baby Sharks: The Essential Guide to Thriving as a New Lawyer” and Betsy Munnell, a 25-year Biglaw partner who helps lawyers build profitable, self-sustaining practices, provide concrete tips and strategies for networking success.

From navigating a cocktail reception to staying in touch online, the program will help you learn to tailor an approach to suit your skills, resources and personal style. The goal is to make networking more comfortable, more effective—and more frequent—so that you can go beyond trading business cards and build authentic, meaningful and enduring business relationships. If you have ever cringed at the notion of attending a networking event – or wondered how to maintain contact without being awkward or intrusive, this program is for you.
