 When was the last time you heard someone say, “I love networking and I’m good at it!”?
Smart professionals know that networking is a proven way to find a job, keep a job, and bring in new business. Learn how to take the stress out of networking and get better results, in a way that feels natural to you.
The Networking Naturally Program: What Is It?
The program consists of three teleseminars :
- October 27: Avoid Common Traps in Networking
We cover the foundations of great networking. If the basics are not done well, you can unknowingly sabotage your best networking efforts. We look at myths and beliefs around networking and help you create a plan to meet your personal and professional goals.
- November 3: Create Meaningful Conversations and Develop Lasting Connections
We address two of the most cited networking challenges: 1) starting a conversation with a stranger and 2) following up afterwards. We also cover sticky situations as well as the etiquette and nuances of great networking, in-person and online.
- November 10: In-Person and Online Networking, Put It All Together
You’ll learn how social networking fits with in-person networking efforts in a world of limited time and attention. We also look at ways to keep momentum going, make the best use of your existing network, and continuously expand your network.
