Turbo-Charged Networking

Ottawa Public Library - Emerald Plaza Branch

6:30-8:00 pm


Turbo-Charged Networking!
with Len Fardella
from Peter's New Jobs

Turbo-Charged Networking is all about combining face-to-face networking with online (Linkedin, Twitter, email) follows ups. In its most basic form, you bring IRL (aka, in real life) and online experiences together in a planned and orchestrated manner.

I want to get you excited about the possibilities, help you understand where you need to invest time and effort, highlight preparatory (aka, boring) work that you need to complete before you start and finally, explore a few of the tools and processes around networking.  Hopefully, I'll whet your interest in the actual art of face to face networking.

Time permitting, we will finish the evening with a few minutes of speed networking to send you off home hyped and ready to go.

Len Fardella of Peter's New Jobs will be your guide, cheerleader and task master for the evening.

Are you ready to take action?
