Only 15-seconds! That’s not a lot of time at all!

First impressions therefore count. And in a world where attention spans last only as long as it takes to read the average Tweet, it is important that business leaders have the skills and tools available to help them to “Wow” and engage potential customers, partners and suppliers quickly and effectively, and stand out in crowd.

This 2-hour webinar on how to network effectively and build a memorable 60-second pitch will provide networking insights, tips and tools.
