Hi NW CoP Friends !,

I've registered as a William & Mary alum for this webinar.  I'll report what I discover.

It seems to imply that others may participate, but perhaps at a cost.  Note the sender of email, for inquiries.

Dear William,

Please join us for an alumni webinar hosted by Professor Inga Carboni:
 

Designing Strategic Networks and Networking Strategically

Thursday, April 24, 2014 - 12:00 pm EDT

 

Do you ever wonder why some people seem to get ahead faster than others? Perhaps they truly understand who you know is as important as what you know, and that intentionally managing a strategic network is imperative to a successful career. Join Inga Carboni, Ph.D., for an interactive session on designing strategic networks and networking strategically.
 
Some major takeaways from this webinar will include:

• Networking is consciously managing your social relationships
• Networking is the single most powerful activity you can undertake in terms of developing your social capital
• Strategic networkers engage in activities that put them in contact with dissimilar and unconnected people
• Strategic networks focus on what individuals give to others, not on what they get from others
