Most professionals know that networking is the key to managing a successful career. Whether you are revving up your network as part of your New Years resolutions, networking for the first time or trying to sustain it on an ongoing basis, it's not uncommon that networking efforts often fall short whether it's not knowing what to say during an important networking conversation or how to stay top of mind with your entire network over time. This will be a rare opportunity to glean invaluable tips from Karen Kodzik and Marcia Ballinger, two Twin Cities authors and career professionals, on networking and network management.
