EXPAND YOUR CONNECTIONS – Building Your Network

Presented by: Anne Lawrence, Director of Outsourcing,
AonHewitt


     The
best strategy for building relationships is helping others solve their
problems.  Re-frame your thinking about
what networking is all about.  “Show up”
and you might be surprised to find the information and connections you are
looking for while helping others in their quest for new employment.  Come with specifics on what you are looking
for, your inventive ideas, handbills, and business cards.



     Anne Lawrence brings over 20 years of
business experience, covering private and public companies, small business to
global corporations.  She's survived the corporate environment
experiences, including IPOs, being acquired, and yes, even a reduction in
force.  Anne is currently a technology leader with Aon Hewitt, in
Lincolnshire, Illinois.  Anne spends her free time with her family,
actively participating in Toastmasters, reading, cooking, and squeezing out
excess time for exercise and piano.  She'll catch up on her sleep when her
children are teenagers.
