Description

• Do you wish you were a more confident networker?
• Would you like to go to more networking events but you put it off?
• Are you not really sure how to go about networking?

Love it or hate it, networking is an extremely useful skill – whether you’re a charity worker hoping to meet your next big donor or corporate partner, in business hoping to source new clients, or an established professional aiming to climb the career ladder.

In this session, you’ll learn how to approach a networking event, before, during and after as well as how to transform new and established contacts into lasting and valuable connections.

Throughout the workshop, Mark Smith will share practical advice based on his extensive networking experience. Those daunting meetings will soon become enjoyable and productive events.
