Location: Comfort of your own chair
Are you ready to step up to the next level in your career, business or job search, but every time you attend a networking event, you come home with loads of business cards and no real connections? Are you ready to love what you do and build successful business relationships that help propel you forward in your career? Are you tired of watching extroverts network with ease and confidence, while you hang out by the buffet table?
Would you like to learn the personal networking secrets of a proven networking coach who regularly lands raving fans?
Would you like to land these kinds of fans too -- not just any fans — the kind that lobby for your success, pay you with a smile, and refer their friends, neighbors, relatives, and colleagues until you're so busy you get a promotion, raise your prices, and start actually going on those vacations you've always wanted?
Yes? Then Rock Your Network® in the
New Economy is for you!
Read on to learn more and join me for this powerful telecourse beginning Thursday, August 12, 2010.

Location: Professional Connections, Milwaukee, WI
Nike, Starbucks, and Trump: These companies know that branding is critical — it's what makes them stand apart from their competition. But branding isn't just for big companies with big advertising budgets. To win in today's competitive job market, personal branding is an essential part of the game.

The challenge for most professionals is that they lack the discipline necessary to take control of their personal brands. As a result, their peers choose it for them. Unfortunately, the personal brand others choose for you will not always be the personal brand you would have chosen for yourself."

Cool Comments from Event Participants
I not only enjoyed, but profited from the Rock Your Network® events sponsored by Wendy. I learned how to "do the networking" thing and really make it work. It has paid off immensely.
–Lisa Stanek, human resources professional
You rocked our conference! Your remarks were very well received and appreciated. Thank you for an excellent job.
–Steven Babitsky, Esq. President, SEAK Inc.
I have to express how glad I am that I attended this [Rock Your Network®] event. It was short yet, packed with very helpful information; I can see how networking builds on itself and I am glad I am learning from an authority such as yourself. Also, the professionals I met and connected with directly were friendly, welcoming and supportive. It was a very positive and pleasant experience.
–Gayle Gray
You excel at presenting on career topics such as networking, resume building, interview strategies, and job search strategies, which is why I keep asking you to speak at our Wednesday evening Job Forum meetings, and there is no way for you to measure how much I personally, as well as the rest of your audience, appreciate and gain from your presentations. You have a way about you that helps people.
–Lance Westen, Executive Director, Job Forum
