Ask any business expert, or successful entrepreneur what their secrets to success are and most, if not all will accredit "Relationships" and "Networking" as one of the key elements to their success.

Indeed, relationship building, is a core facet and crucial skill needed to help not only individuals, but small businesses succeed.

The irony for many is that, though important, many are either afraid of reaching out or clueless about the art of effective networking and purposeful and meaningful relationship building for work and life, much less the art of building "Influential Relationships" for opening up opportunities in life.

This leads us to the upcoming seminar this evening on  "Influential Relationships" - How to Connect, Communicate and Build Relationships for Endless Referrals.

The session will be facilitated by Networking Guru & Evangelist, Mervin Yeo and Art of Influence Coach Gary Guwe, two huge beneficiaries and experts in their field who've reaped the benefits of fruitful, meaningful and purposeful networking.
