So, you\u2019ve gone to networking events, you\u2019ve eaten the bad hors d\u2019oeuvres and drunk the cheap wine, you\u2019ve made some small talk and exchanged business cards with a few people, and you\u2019re still waiting for it to pay off. Or, because you dread and detest all of the above, you\u2019ve resigned yourself to missing out on this particular career advancement strategy.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the well-kept secret: networking is a set of tools and techniques, and no one is born knowing how to do use them perfectly. And none of it is any harder to learn than all the things you already know how to do \u2013 although it does take practice.<\/p>\n
In this session, we\u2019ll open up the toolbox and uncover ways to make networking easy, interesting, and fun. You\u2019ll learn how to approach networking events with a plan and a strategy, how to start an interesting conversation with pretty much anyone, and how to follow up with new contacts without being a pest. You\u2019ll have a chance to practice on each other, and you\u2019ll set some straightforward goals and create a networking plan to achieve them.
