Every individual has a network...but is it the network you want?. Join Rachael to look at how to modify, build or create a network that screams "success!". Learn how to prune your network at any point in your career and increase your access to the right people in the right places Learn what to look for to strategically connect "up the chain" and clean up the "noise" in your current network. We will specifically focus on LinkedIn and how to control your network while growing your connections methodically. While we will focus on LinkedIn, you can apply Rachael's techniques across a myriad of social media outlets. You will walk away with information on how to manage your presence and use your connections to attract rather than distract from who you are and where you want to go!
