Our engaging online courses, webinars, and in-person speaker presentations will help you think differently about business networking.
Before we get started, let’s dispel some myths about business networking
Most people think networking is about selling oneself. That it’s pushy. Transactional. No wonder it’s not at the top of everyone’s ‘to do’s! We’re here to help you see that business networking is none of those things. It isn’t about you. It’s about discovering what you can do for others. It’s what we call Positive Networking® – the inspiration behind our new online program for individuals and businesses.

Meet Gayle and Judy
Teaching the skills of business networking isn’t something Gayle and Judy do off the side of their desks. It’s their expertise and their passion. Their training is based on the latest research on networks and behavioural science, their extensive years of experience in the networking world, tactical and practical tips, and their proven system of learning.

Parents don’t sit kids down and teach them the skills of networking. This is why this dynamic duo is dedicated to teaching people how to build better relationships, feel comfortable circulating in any networking situation, and grow and maintain their networks. Gayle and Judy have lots of ways to make this happen!
