Course Overview

Business networking events can be a daunting prospect: Standing on the side-lines looking out into the room of unknown faces, not knowing where to begin, how to join a group or individual and get beyond the small talk of, “What do you do?”, or the weather.

Our popular networking training session provides a lively, practical approach with tools and techniques for meeting new people, creating and maintaining meaningful conversations, working the room, and nurturing good business relationships, not only at networking events but in our working lives.
