Exactly how to spin a friendly, personal web is on the agenda of Diane Bach’s day-long program, “Networking for Success,” on Wednesday, June 9, at 9:30 a.m. at the Learning Key in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. Cost: $190. Call 215-393-3435 or visit www.TheLearningKey.com. As director of assessments for the Learning Key, Bach has developed a specialized training expertise in guiding scientific and technical professionals gently through the Byzantine protocols of business.
“Unfortunately,” notes Bach, “back in the ‘80s, the term networking got a sleazy reputation — insincere contacts levered for unfair advantage.” And for the past 20 years, she has fought diligently to polish up networking’s tarnished image. Bach was born in Bucks County and currently lives in Lansdale. She attended Pennsylvania’s Muhlenberg College, graduating with a B.S. in chemistry.
As she took a successive series of sales and marketing jobs with various chemical and pharmaceutical firms, she recalls that “I really saw the need for technical types to communicate better with their business counterparts.” For the past decade she has worked strictly in training, currently celebrating her first anniversary with the Learning Key.
