Networking to Reach Your Goals

We've often heard about the importance of networking and how it can help you get what you want - whether that's to advance your career, meet friends, grow a business, or any number of things.

But where do you start?

The first step is to understand and know how to phrase your "ask".

Your "ask" is the concise articulation of what you need - help, support, or otherwise - to get you one step closer to your dream. It's something you share with others so they know how they can lend a hand (because we can't do it alone!) It's not always the easiest thing to convey, but with practice it can become second nature.

Here's what you'll explore at the Networking to Reach Your Goals workshop:

• Speed dating - connect with your fellow participants
• Define your goal and ask - share out to the group
• Help others - through the power of your network

Join us and 10 other professionals for a fun evening where we'll get hands-on with tips and tools on how to reach your goals through your network. We believe so much in the power of networking that we guarantee you will walk away with new connections to make things happen!

Date: Thursday, 2 February 2023

Time: 18:30 – 21:00 (sandwiches and drinks will be served)

Location: Space for Change, Jacob van Lennepkade 340H, Amsterdam

Previous attendees have this to say:

"Thank you Adrienne and Adis for this fantastic networking workshop. I've been disappointed with networking groups in the past that felt more social, like a party and I left without really having made any connections. The two of you created a safe, engaging, fun space for 10 strangers to connect quickly, get help and give help. Focusing on my ask really encouraged me to get clear about my business but also think about what I do want from my network. I now have ten new connections and met really interesting people. Looking forward to the next workshop! Thank you."
