Ugh! Networking?!
Are you looking to move up in your organization? Are you looking to decide on your next career move?
In theory, most of us understand that so-called networking is essential to career success. In reality, most of us do not practice true networking. Education around how “to network” tends to focus on explaining how to navigate events or use social media, and not enough time or attention is spent on the process and goals around managing and nourishing existing relationships. This talk takes a thoughtful and tactical look at the most essential elements of managing relationships.

Do you work in professional services? Certainly, you have unique skills, talents, abilities, ideas and interests. You have likely grown in your organization because of your technical expertise in professional services (e.g., as law, accounting, or consulting). Taking that next step in your firm or company likely means that you need to become more seasoned at business development.
It is too easy to listen to conventional wisdom and talk yourself out of business development activities:
- As an introvert, how I can honestly develop business?
- I don’t have time for business development…
- Business development is for other people…
Lets take a thoughtful and tactical look at getting your business development activities off the ground. This seminar helps you address issues including:
- How to recognize an opportunity for your area of practice;
- What you actually need in your plan of attack;
- How to carve time in the busiest of schedules to move your strategies forward; and
- How to engage internal champions to support your efforts.
You have reached the final frontier in your job search. Background music, maestro: The job interview! If it goes well, a potential job awaits. How is it that some candidates “stand out” and create a unique connection with a potential employer? Great candidates approach their interview no differently than famous talk show hosts approach their upcoming interviews. There is a short period of time to articulate their unique value and to elicit key stories and experiences from the person in front of them.
This seminar reviews interviewing best practices and answers questions including:
- How should you ask for and properly use an informational interview with a potential employer?
- What should you really do to prepare for an interview?
- How do you correctly balance both answering and asking questions during an interview?
- What are the nuances of a panel, video, phone screen or Skype interview?
- How do you channel your inner talk show host to stand out with your interviewer?
