Few activities are as nerve-wracking as networking. Some professionals eschew it altogether because they think it means stilted conversations with strangers or exploiting others for personal gain. It's time to reclaim networking. The real goal is to turn brief encounters into mutually beneficial and lasting relationships. Drawing on her new e-book Stand Out Networking, Harvard Business Review contributor and Duke Fuqua School of Business professor Dorie Clark will share concrete strategies on how to turn small talk into meaningful exchanges, unlock the power of social media as a networking tool, make the most of conferences, and more. This webcast will help you turn networking from a chore into a joyful and enriching activity.
