PROGRAM OVERVIEW

At this meeting, WMCA is continuing our “Business Essentials” Series with a topic on “How to Build a Diverse Network.”  Jess Dods, WMCA Treasurer and founder of Jess Dods Coaching will facilitate a discussion on what networking is and how to make it work for your business.  He will discuss networking strategies — those that work and those to avoid.

This session will be an informal Q&A session where Jess will share what has worked for him and why and ask other coaches to discuss what works for them.  We found this format is an effective way to tap into the experience of the group to gain greater insight on “Business Essentials.”
