“Growing Your Business in 2010″ was well attended

15 04 2010

“Got me thinking about my business in a different way”. This was one of the comments after Josh Slavitt of ActionCoach did his thought provoking presentation “The Five Most Powerful Things You Can Do to Grow Your Business in 2010” to FINE today.  It seemed like almost everyone in the audience participated by asking questions or offering their own experiences and advice.  

The networking activity was strong among the 28 people who attended.  We got started a bit late which seemed fine with everyone as they got to know each other better. And people lingered and stayed around after the meeting was over. 

Josh gave me a copy of a two page paper he did on networking to share with the group and I’ve uploaded it here. It offers some good practical pointers on what to do at networking events. 

Geri Sutton, Business Development Manager at ActionCoach, handed out a flyer about their services which range from one-on-one to group sessions and seminars. For more info, visit www.ActionCoachNow.com.
