Come be inspired while learning to make the right connections and leave ready to enjoy networking with confidence April 11 at Lone Star College-CyFair.

The college’s next Speaking of Business Series features Donna Fisher and her presentation titled “The Power of Networking: Making the Right Connections to Influence Results.”

No matter how high tech the world, people skills are of great value and importance in creating new opportunities and greater visibility in one’s industry and community. 

“Effective networking is one way to gain access to the right people and information that you need to help you land your next big job or sales opportunity. Yet, meeting new people and building rapport with others can be a daunting task for some people,” said Ellen Junious, LSC-CyFair business professor and series coordinator. “Ms. Fisher will show us how to move through the fear of networking and develop the skills necessary to create the right connections.”

Fisher, author of several books, such as Power Networking, People Power, Professional Networking for Dummies, and Switched-On Networking, has more than 18 years of experience teaching people the art and skill of communicating and connecting.

Light refreshments will be served at this event held from 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. in the Conference Center at 9191 Barker Cypress; however, space is limited.

The free Speaking of Business Series is designed to enhance the personal and professional development of future business and community leaders.

Sponsoring this series is LSC-CyFair’s Business and Communication Studies Division. For information, contact Junious at 281.290.3511.
