How to Make Networking Work for You with Laura Gabor

​*This is a community-submitted session.*

​At its core, networking is about building community. It’s about the way we show up, offer support to others, and further one another’s dreams.

​​Networking is more than the images it conjures of stuffy business wear and awkward handshakes. It can lead to really beautiful friendships, opportunities for growth, and at the very least, another example of a time you dared to go out and be seen. 

​​Laura Gabor knows that better than most. In this session, you’ll learn:

• ​​Strategies for expanding your network and deepening relationships

• ​​Conversation starters, questions to ask, and other helpful networking tips

• ​​The power in growing your network continuously, intentionally, and exponentially

​​This session is for Growclass and Gather members only.
