As the old Andy Williams song goes “It’s that time of year…” when we all come together to network and be a little more social. We enjoy the food and sometimes spirits and, in general, enjoy the lighter side of networking. We need to be careful, though, because there are pitfalls waiting to ensnare the unwary. Join Debby and Greg as they discuss best practices when dealing with the end of year events that seem to go with every networking group.
