Nose-to-Nose Networking Series
Because good networking should come as easy as petting a friendly dog!
Expanding on her book by the same title, Mélanie helps you go beyond today’s online society with good old-fashioned, in-person networking. These informative yet fun workshops (inspired by a master networker, Abigail, the Golden Retriever) are great for the entrepreneur or those who feel they need a little push to get out into the world (again). Each may stand alone or be mixed and matched for your event.
In addition to some excellent, tangible takeaways, your presentation was well structured with the help of your four legged furry canine companion, your Golden Retriever!
