Lori Blaker President/CEO of TTi Global is the Keynote Speaker at Auburn Hills Chamber of Commerce Women’s Lunch & Learn Networking Event
Rochester Hills, MI (PRWEB) May 02, 2014 -- Achieving career success by learning how to leverage personal and professional networks was the focus of the Auburn Hills Chamber’s women’s leadership event. Lori Blaker, President and CEO of TTi Global spoke about the art of utilizing a network to build success. Blaker drew from her own business experience when she shared, “I think it is important for women to learn how to effectively use their personal and professional networks for their own career advancement. This come naturally for most businessmen, but too often women, even professional women are often reluctant to ask directly for what they need. It’s a cultural conditioning that takes a conscious effort to overcome. We need to get better at building our own network of support and learn to share contacts and information freely.”
Denise Asker, Executive Director of the Auburn Hills Chamber commented on the event. “I hope that this event helped women gain confidence to develop the skills they needed to use the networks they’ve built over a career, to further their goals. Lori Blaker was an excellent keynote speaker, as she has succeeded in the development of a global company by putting these tools to effective use.”
The Women’s Lunch and Learn networking event also included a group training activity, a community service element, and networking. It is sponsored by Oakland University, Faurecia and DBusiness Magazine. As a part of the Auburn Hills Chamber’s Spring Serve, which runs throughout the month of April, women were encouraged to bring gently used professional clothing to the event to support the Neighborhood House’s Clothes Closet. The Clothes Closet helps women throughout Auburn Hills and Rochester return to gainful employment through the provision of clothing and other necessary resources.
