Networking and Business Development
Course Overview
Networking and business development hinge very much on a number of key areas; these are no longer considered ‘soft skills’, but core human skills to support how we ‘fuel the connections.’
How do we fuel these connections? How do we build trust, rapport and consider our communication skills to better prepare for future engagement? There are learnable ways to build network, to ‘work a room’ and to consider the legacy of our engagement “people will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel” (Maya Angelou).
