Our first Presenter is Nick Bendel
An introvert’s guide to becoming an incredible networker
Building a great network takes time. So one of the best gifts you can give your future self is to start the process today.
District 90 member Nick Bendel did just that in 2019, when he began an ambitious quest to have lunch with 500 strangers – despite being a homebody and an introvert.
Nick will tell you all about his lunches-with-strangers adventure, while also explaining how to go about building a network and the benefits you'll enjoy.
You'll love this speech if you want to be happier in your personal life and more successful in your professional life.
Our second Presenter is Dale Anne Clark
