Event Details:

After nearly 20 years spent building a career and a strong network of professional contacts in the United States, Barbara Gibson quit her job, sold most of her possessions and moved to London with no contacts, no work permit and no idea of what lay ahead. Within six months of arriving, she was president of the UK chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators, and the following year became region chair of IABC Europe/Middle East. Six years later, she's running a successful consultancy with clients in the UK and worldwide, and serving as international Chair of IABC. Find out how Barbara leveraged her IABC membership to overcome cultural barriers, gain understanding of differences in communication practice, build a network and gain professional credibility even though she was an outsider. She'll share her tips for building a powerful network whether you want to expand your contacts worldwide or right here at home.
