This interactive one day workshop will de-mystify the techniques and approaches that make

networking a fruitful and mutually beneficial way of being, doing and creating successful

business relationships. What better time to re-vision your networking strategy - NOW.

• You will analyse your current networking behaviours and find ways to network

that feel right for you.

• You will leave knowing you have your own creative & authentic approach to get the best out of

each networking opportunity with confidence.

• You will have the chance to network with the group and be supported with tips for growing

your existing on and offline networks.

There will be space created for you to think about and refine your purpose for networking, and you

will be given chances to practice and play with your skills, both old and new.

The day is being co-designed and delivered by Anna B. Sexton, Director, Open To Create... with

associate Alison Seddon.
