Get connected
We may not like it, but we know networking is good for us. Discover the pain-free way to make lasting connections.
If you are the kind of person who feels a shudder when you are told to ‘network’, here’s some good news.
Firstly, those people who are described as ‘great networkers’ are actually rubbish at networking. If they were any good, no-one would remark on it.
Secondly, you’re almost certainly better at building a network of strong connections than you realise.
Thirdly, by nourishing your existing network and building on strengths that you already have, you could become one of the best networkers in town. And no-one will even notice.
So, if you want to use your network to make life better, whether that’s by finding a new member for your team, gleaning a nugget of information that closes a tricky deal or securing a table at The Ivy, this Go large is for you.
At the end of the Go large you will have:
- Discovered how to make a great first impression.
- Experienced the surprising power of exchange.
- Explored the difference between your strong and weak ties, and how to make the most of each.
- Realised how wide your existing network reaches.
- Made some lasting connections.
