Why this Course is Important

“Discover how to meet new people, start meaningful conversations and develop new working relationships at business social events.”

Whether you’re attending a social function arranged by your organisation, an interstate company conference, client networking event, or being introduced to strangers for the first time, what goes through your mind (and body) when you’re expected to stand in front of others, mingle and ‘do small talk’? You don’t have to be an introvert to not enjoy the stress that can go with networking and meeting strangers. But, as you know already, building your personal networks is part of your professional development.

Networking is the key to getting known, building your contacts and achieving success. Without a network you’re limiting your opportunities to learn, grow and expand your experience and knowledge.

The How to Get the Most from Every Networking Event (E) session will give you the confidence to know what to say and how to interact with new people in any professional or personal gathering. If you’re ready to build your social skills, then this training is a must.
