Today I bring you an exceptionally practical and often funny conversation with Charlie Lawson, a networking and promotion expert with a twist.
This podcast is not just for leaders, it’s for everyone in business. We redefine and reframe networking, ditching its negative stereotype and Charlie then fires nugget after nugget of practical tips for anyone wanting to build meaningful business relationships.
