THE founder of women's business support group Forward Ladies is speaking in York to give tips on successful networking.

Etta Cohen OBE will deliver a seminar on Friday, at Forest Farm, in Fulford, hosted by female business community group Pure Zest.

Entitled 'Networking: It's not personal!', the seminar aims to provide delegates with a clear understanding of networking and how it can affect the bottom line and benefit them in their professional life. It covers all aspects of networking from what it is, approaching strangers and making small talk to following up and managing your contacts.
