Topic: If Networking Is So Important Why Has No One Taught Me How?
Speaker: Keith Bailey – Articulated Intelligence
If Networking Is So Important Why Has No One Taught Me How?
Networking is critical to success in business and leadership, yet it’s not taught in school, at home, or at work. Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert most of us feel a bit introverted when networking. You’ll learn through some practical application exercises, tactics on how to plan, execute and follow up to increase your Return on Networking (RON). When approaching networking with a plan, a “go-giver” mindset, and confidence building tactics, you will enjoy it more.
Learning Outcomes/Session Goals/Takeaways
- Pre-networking activities to build confidence, reduce anxiety, and define goals.
- Learn ways to enter/exit conversations, a unique way to introduce yourself, and alternative opening questions.
- Post-networking tips for nurturing newly formed relationships.
- Return on Networking Checklist (Plan/Execute/Nurture)
