The Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce encourages everyone to take advantage of our networking and training opportunities.
Of special note: If you are not a member of the Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce, there will be a $20 charge to attend a Business After Business.
Networking Tip Get out among them. Do you tend to hole up in your office or other workplace? Just getting out of the house or office to be among people helps. Although walking isn't direct networking, it propels you out of your own little world and brings about a powerful mindset change that can lead you into networking. |
