“The greatest mistake in life is to be continually fearing
you will make one.”
NETWORKING can be formally defined as “Expanding one's social or business network
by initiating mutually beneficial relationships”. Simply
put, this means; “Meeting and getting to know new people who may be of help to
you and you of help to them”.
Networking is
a great way to expand the world you live in. It increases business connections,
enhances social interaction, introduces you to new concepts and can even open
up career advancement opportunities, Formal business conferences, education
classes, social get-togethers, sporting events or any other type of “people
meeting people” situations are all great opportunities to “Network” and develop
relationships with people you would like to get to know better.
Program
Overview
Networking can be a fun and easy way to enrich your life,
broaden your horizons, and enhance your career. But, it can also be potentially
devastating if you do not know how to network appropriately. If
you are perceived to be pushy or insensitive to the needs and desires of
others, people you meet will not want to be a part of your network.
Crucial to successful networking is the concept of
treating it as an exchange of ideas, information and experience. It is not a
direct means of selling, telling, or using other people for one’s own benefit.
Networking is a multi faceted process of exchange. Successful “Networkers” are
generous in sharing talents, experiences, and ideas, and always respectful and
considerate of everyone they network with.
