Event Description

Learning to network is an important skill for all business owners and leaders. Opportunities are often created through relationships, not just qualifications.

Effective networking helps you build genuine connections, increase visibility, exchange ideas and access new possibilities for growth, collaboration and career progression.

In this Lunch and Learn, business mentor Falguni Patel explains how good networking can help you build trust, confidence and a supportive professional community.

Topics covered in this session:

• Why not all networking events are the same, and how they vary by target audience, format, length and cost
• Why planning and preparation before the event is so important – you don’t want to be left searching for business cards or fumbling for words when asked “What do you do?”
• Building connections and arranging one-to-ones after the event – this is the reason you’re networking, so it’s important to take time to nurture these connections
