“I decided to attend the Networking for Career Success Event in January out of the recommendation of a friend. I was so impressed with the Guest Speaker, Douglas Coll, and his ability to not only enable us to understand the art of networking, but to put his teachings to practice with an interactive component that was highly engaging. I always knew that networking was important and that it was critical for career advancement and success, but I never thought of it as a ‘skill’ that one could learn and develop. I’d highly recommend the YLC Professional Development Series- the workshops are a true enabler for career success.”
