A Classic, Now Expanded and Updated
The new and expanded two-cassette edition of the most effective guide to networking and building both business and personal relationships.
Walking into a room full of strangers, whether at a business function or a cocktail party, is nerve-wracking—especially if you’re trying to make a good impression. In How to Work a Room, Susan RoAne lays out the fundamentals of savvy socializing, teaching you how to interact impressively and make the connections that allow you to move forward in your business and personal life. Her dynamic program, a worldwide bestselling book since its first publication in 1988 and a top-selling Renaissance audiobook since 1991, is now updated and expanded, adding additional punch and appeal to a self-help classic.
With wit and style RoAne addresses all the ways to successfully socialize. This comprehensive two-cassette edition also gives you the tools to network in the “virtual room” and “techno-toy room,” and pays special attention to the new business and social dynamics of 2000 and beyond.
This supercharged three-hour learning experience drives home the most effective ways to make the most of interpersonal and networking opportunities.
