In this 20-minute session, Lindsey Burden shows how to focus on the right connections, turn conversations into opportunities, and build authentic relationships that deliver real results. Practical, actionable, and refreshingly honest, this session will help attendees make their networking time count and leave with strategies to connect, engage, and grow their business.
