Success in life is a function of our interpersonal relationships. Networking is a learned skill and does not require the personality of an extrovert. An engaging introductory conversation and exchange of business cards can build meaningful relationships when you implement a process for patient and purposeful follow-up. Creating a network of trusted friends and colleagues, who share information, introductions, mentoring will expand your opportunities for you, both personally and professionally.
Learning objectives include:
-
Recognize the process to network effectively.
-
Develop proven strategies to build relationships
-
Implement techniques for using social media to support and grow your network.
