From "Chit-Chat" to "Cha-Ching!" Internationally Renowned "Small Talk" Expert, Debra Fine, Keynote Speaker at Association of Independent Information Professionals
Denver, CO, Mar 14, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) --
If attending a Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting is intimidating, if a business lunch with a new prospect is frightening, if going to a work-related cocktail hour produces anxiety, then internationally renowned speaker Debra Fine probably has the solution to these stress-inducing events. Don't worry--we've all been there, so what can you do about it In a lively, interactive presentation, best-selling author Debra Fine is the featured Keynote Speaker for the opening session of the 27th Annual Conference of the Association of Independent Information Professionals (http://www.AIIP.org). Fine will present her time-tested, fun, and eye-opening methods to guide the attendees of this year's conference to better business networking techniques: Mingling with icebreakers, starting conversations, mastering introductions and remembering names, keeping the conversation going--all these rapport building elements--and more--will be demystified.
"We are independent researchers and information professionals so most of us are accustomed to working alone," says AIIP President Scott Brown. "We felt that Debra's presentation is perfect for our membership. In addition to being entertaining, her talk will prove to be powerful and effective for many of our members who absolutely know there are opportunities out there to find and win business at a party or other social networking event."
