“It is difficult to conceive of any individuals in business who would not benefit from this program.”

Business is all about personal relationships.  In this program we will dissect human relationships and study their component parts.  Topics include: likeability, trust & respect, first impressions, networking, selling yourself, appreciation, and the role of emotional connections in decision making.  A deep understanding of these factors combined with self-reflection will help participants strengthen and build profitable relationships.  It is commonly accepted that “who you know” is more important than “what you know.”  However, it is important to remember that “who you know” really means “what people who know you, say to others, when you’re not around.”
