Social Navigation
As advancement professionals, we are trained to make a solicitation ask, to write press releases and to organize a special event. Sadly, most of us are not trained on how to "work" a room. Social navigation is a necessary skill as we move up the change of command-whether it's at a board meeting or a cocktail hour with key donors. This session will help you establish your tone and avoid the pitfall of managing conversations and people.
