PALM DESERT, CA – Coachella Valley Women’s Business Center will present “The Art of Networking:  Integrate Social Media and Social Skills to Build a Strategic Network” on Thursday, April 18^th, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at  Workforce Development Center, 44-199 Monroe Street, in Indio.  Cost for the event is $15.00 with online registration.

At this workshop Kathy Condo will discuss why there is a misconception that you must be an extrovert in order to flourish at a networking event, when this is not so.  She will also cover the skills and knowledge you need to propel you and your business through every event, making every possible connection.   You will learn what tools are needed for face-to-face networking, how to select which events to attend, why a name tag is important, how to start and maintain a conversation, and how to (graciously) end a conversation.
