About this Event

Speaker: Caroline Thompson, SETsquared Bristol Centre Manager


Overview

Ever cancelled a networking event at the last minute because you were dreading the small talk? Or found yourself at an event sticking to familiar faces, but struggling to make useful new connections?
This practical and supportive workshop will give you simple, effective techniques to help you get more out of networking. You will learn how to prepare beforehand, how to approach people with confidence, how to start and end conversations naturally, and how to follow up afterwards to build lasting business relationships.


Who is it for?
This session is ideal for anyone who finds networking a bit daunting and wants to become more confident and effective. It is also useful for those who already enjoy networking but would like to sharpen their skills and pick up new strategies.


By the end of the session, you will be able to:

  • Define your purpose for networking
  • Start and end conversations with confidence
  • Build rapport and read body language
  • Remember names more easily
  • Follow up professionally and grow the relationship

You will leave with practical tools you can use straight away to make your next networking event a success.
