My life has been enriched by using that skill in both my professional and personal lives and I enjoy teaching the value of it to others.”

The course gave me the essential tools and ideas I needed to strengthen the relationships I had and to build new ones.”

My favorite part of class that impacted me as business woman was on the section on ‘Creating Your Brand.’ The HobNob Nation has been creating a brand nationally and I have been developing HobNobToledo’s brand in Northwest Ohio. The class helped me to focus on creating, accepting and living my brand. It was through Debby’s class that I was able to fall in love with my brand and help Toledo to do the same thing.”

There isn’t a single person who knows someone named anyone or someone so I had to think about what my business does and who I helped. This has taken me to new heights and has made me a key asset to the corporate wellness world after I decided I was going to focus on businesses and lowering their health insurance expenses. Because of that I am one of the only non-insurance certified wellness coach through the Ohio Health Underwriters Association!”

We are a national virtual architectural office with one architect and four part time draftsmen. From our experiences with Debby Peter’s Connext Nation course we are now more focused on our target markets and know how to handle ourselves in most networking situations. We strongly recommend this course.”

I have been able to achieve a firm level of clarity and confidence that has positioned me to market my services comfortably. In line with this, I recently decided that I was ready to look into BNI. This morning I went to my first BNI meeting and despite my newness found myself fully prepared and at ease with my surroundings. Though the group I visited is likely not the best fit for me, I am committed to visiting other groups until I find the right fit.

“When I left the meeting, I found myself inside one of those pure gratitude moments. I thought about all that I have learned and gained from CN and how it has been worth every dime spent. A year ago, I attempted to go to a BNI meeting in Monroe and found myself sitting in the parking lot unable to go in. This morning I attended a meeting with great confidence knowing exactly what I was able to offer and receive as a part of a networking organization.

“I want to thank you so sincerely for the CN program and the education and wisdom both of you have given me. I know that I am successful and I know why. I am ready to fly!”

I’ve been a member of BNI for most of those 12 years, and felt that I didn’t need to take the CN class because I already knew what I needed to know about networking.

“When the economy took a hit, my business suffered, and I knew that I needed to start doing things differently. I finally took the plunge and signed up for the CN class. Boy, do I wish that I had done that years ago! I thought that I was a good networker, but I quickly learned in CN that I had only been scratching the surface of my networking possibilities.

“The CN class taught me how to ask better questions of the people in my networks so I can learn how to help them better, and how to be more effective in making referrals to them. I also learned how to develop deeper, more intentional referral relationships with key networking partners, and I’ve seen tremendous improvement in the results of my networking efforts as a result.”
