PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
BUSINESS NETWORKING SKILLS
Networking is simply the act of developing and using contacts made in business and life to build your business and expand the possibilities of achieving more results. It’s a people’s world and we must all master how to be among people successfully, from meeting them to developing sustained relationships with them whether officially or unofficially. While it is easier for some people to network, others find it difficult. This course has been designed to help you master the art of networking; the ability to develop capacity with your natural personality rather than trying to be another person because being yourself is the most effective tool for business networking and building relationships. As networking events increases, you must now learn how to “work the room” because you only have a few minutes to create your impression. It’s highly practical and interactive.
