Networking for Success: Forming Meaningful Connections

Workshop Description:

This workshop will help participants to overcome the norms around networking,

address and work on their limiting beliefs about how they approach connecting

with others, and give participants tools and tactics to employ to have conversations

that establish genuine relationships. Participants will experience a new perspective

towards networking from being a “what’s in it for me” approach, to making it

about the other person, focusing on how they can support others, and conveying

what they’re passionate about in a way that resonates with others. They will learn

powerful questions to start conversations, develop their story telling abilities, and

practice their listening skills. Overall, the goal is to give participants a breadth of

skills and tools to feel more comfortable in a networking environment, create lasting

impressions on others, and to build the confidence to enjoy the process.

Learning Objectives:

• Help participants feel more comfortable and confident to network

• Give participants with tools and tactics to have better conversations

• Help participants change their perspective towards networking from a

“what’s in it for me” approach, to making it about the other person, how they

can support others, and how they convey who they are in a way that connects

with others.
