Sowing and Growing Your Network

Networking: the 'N' word! We all know it's important and that we need to do it. We sign up for conferences, association luncheons and other events, but when we get there we are so uptight about meeting people that we never enjoy ourselves—and we don't network very effectively either! In this lively presentation, Helen offers tips and techniques on how to network at conferences and still have a good time.

The other aspect of networking, the one too often neglected, is nurturing your network. Helen will also tell you how to keep it warm, alive and working for you for as long as you want it—even all your life.

A few of the things the audience will learn:

  • The two fundamental aspects of networking
  • How to relax and enjoy networking at conferences
  • The most important communication skill for networkers
  • The one thing that will surely kill your networking opportunity
  • The one post-conferencee networking technique that will cement your name in people's minds
  • Ideas to keep in touch with your network
  • How to help your network expand itself
  • How to so and grow a network that will serve you all your life

If your organization spends money to send your people to networking events, get a higher return on your investment by showing them how to do it right, with "Sowing and Growing Your Network".
