There are numerous ways to network, and Networking at Events is about finding the best method for you. Our networking courses are not just about discussing techniques in theory but instead putting what you’ve learnt into practice. During the workshop, you will try different techniques through various practical exercises, including role play and conversation cards that encourage discussion, identifying character types and tailoring your approach to different individuals.
The group itself will simulate a real-life networking scenario, allowing you to evaluate and adapt your technique until you find an approach that is both comfortable and effective. Learn how to instigate conversation, steer interactions, and develop a responsive, adaptable and natural networking style.
We’ve helped businesses from a variety of sectors and levels, designing courses for clients including Allen & Overy, Shop Direct, Sky, Vodafone and Yammer.
