Debby & Greg Peters
About this episode

Many people have the impression that when you attend a business-oriented networking event, you should only talk about business. In reality, if you only show your business side, you are missing out on the true power of your network (and probably aren’t making great connections, either). Join Debby and Greg as they discuss when and how to be selectively vulnerable in your networking interactions.
