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.

Gayle and Judy have lots of ways to make this happen!
