Networking: Networking Skills Training

Networking: don't ya just love it!

No. Very few people do and yet most would describe themselves as sociable individuals who enjoy the company of others and can relax, chat and get on with almost anyone. It’s just that...well...er...networking seem so false, so contrived and therefore just a little bit awkward and even a tad worrying, which is why so many people at networking events simply end up chatting to people they know really well already. And that's hardly the point of networking!
