Master Class: How to do Networking that Works

How do you feel about networking?
Chances are if you are a WOO like me you love it.
Many hate it.

Networking has become a superficial numbers game, a transactional swapping of business cards, names, and virtual ‘likes’ or ‘connects’ online. Of bland ‘order taking’ with no real depth, relationship building, or long-term result.

Building a network that works is both an art and a science. It is an art in that it requires basic human skills in communication, connection, authenticity and the ability to be ‘in the present’ and engaged with people and conversation.  It is a science in that building a network strategically requires an ongoing analysis and audit of the people within the network and a sustained curiosity around the levels of diversity and connectivity within the group.  It’s about seeing the lines that connect people and ideas to create opportunity.

Outcomes:

• Understand why knowing who you know and taking a strategic approach to networking are critical for career success, business success, and a professional future-proofing strategy
• Learn the Networking Matrix and the key ‘must have’ people you need in your network right now
• Map your network and identify the gaps
• Learn strategies for reaching out to close the gaps in your network, and frameworks for cultivating and nurturing your network immediately and over time
