How To Network, Be A Good Communicator a...

ALLISON WETIG AND CEARA KIRKPATRICK
About this episode

181: As two girls with degrees in journalism, talking and networking have come pretty naturally so we wanted to share tangible tips and success stories. We cover how to be a good communicator, being able of your body language, common and uncommon places to network, dressing for the proper environment, the importance of knowing your value, how to grow your sphere of influence, what makes a great leader and our thoughts on putting yourself out there on social media (even if you want to maintain your privacy). We encourage you to put yourself out there and get out of your comfort zone this week in a small or big way! 

In the catch-up segment, Allison shares the bittersweet life change of moving out of her Omaha apartment after four years. Both girls are heading out of town to spend time with their families and have quintessential 4th of July celebrations.
