This evening yep! hosted Bob Allen from Dale Carnegie Systems to talk to our organization about how individuals can improve their networking skills. The system is based off of the work and best selling book "How to win friends and influence people" - by Dale Carnegie. Bob's exercises on how to effectively communicate and present yourself in several business and networking forums provided attendees with a wealth of knowledge during the two hour session.
I would encourage any professional who is looking to improve their networking and sales skills to investigate the Dale Carnegie system.
A special thanks to Bob for providing the seminar to yep! and to Amanda Lasky and Phil Gallagher of the Professional Leadership and Development Committee for organizing the event.
As I have mentioned in other posts, we have been working to broaden the scope of our programming for 2009 and beyond. Working with other local groups, we are trying to create new events that will improve the ability of yep! members and young professionals to learn new skills. Bob shared an article from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle talk about how young professionals in Rochester are using networking methods to help move their careers forward in the current economic climate.
Once we have some additional details from other partnerships - I will post them on this site and our main website. If you have an idea of a seminar that you would like to see yep! sponsor - send me an e-mail.
