Strategic Networking: On Beyond Business Cards

Workshops can teach you how to exchange business cards, how to position your name tag on your jacket, and how to shake hands. What most workshops don’t do is help you develop a strategic networking practice.

In this workshop, Maya Townsend, founder and lead consultant of Partnering Resources, helps participants move beyond ad hoc approaches to sustainable, targeted, high-impact networking practices. She helps participants learn how to build the strategic networks that can help them ace their projects, advance their careers, and find new opportunities.

This highly interactive workshop will cover:

• Changing our paradigm from networking to network weaving
• The four networks everyone needs—and the one that people usually neglect
• On beyond mentoring
• Why everyone needs a sponsor and how to get one
