The Rules of Engagement: Balancing Business, Dating & Relationships
 
It's Often said that it's not personal, its business, but savvy professionals know that business is personal. The dating game can be even harder when you have a business to build and a brand to protect. In cities like Philadelphia, todays professionals and entrepreneurs are in close contact, constantly seeing each other and reconnecting at seminars, mixers, political rallys, meetings, fundraisers, happy hours and local events. Often socializing in the same circles can develop into more, leading to romantic feelings & intimate relationships. Join us for a lively discussion on emotional intelligence and the art of handling all types of relationships at the intersection of business and pleasure.  Hear from key influencers that are turning contacts into contracts and friendships as we explore the delicate art of relationship building
 
Questions to Consider:
 
How do you further your personal interest and business endeavors?
If you are married or in a relationship how do you protect your privacy and respect your committment?
Do you infuse Charisma & Confidence into your business and networking?
Does this affect how you do business or how your percieved?
When is networking misinterpreted for hitting on someone? Is being friendly flirting?
How do you maneurver in romantic relationships and tweak business relationships to your advantage?
Does money, power and friendships mix?
How do you build a business relationships into a friendship and vice versa?
How do you handle rejection; in business, friendships, romance?
How do you deal with unwanted advances but still keep a healthy professional / working relationship?
