Authentic Networking

Description

Networking works better when it is built on real interest in other people. These lessons begin with the foundations of authentic networking, then address anxiety and confidence.

You read about active listening, finding common ground, asking good questions, and building trust through openness. Further lessons cover following up, networking in different settings, an action plan and ways to measure results. The last lessons look at advanced connection building, handling difficult moments and keeping a network healthy over the long term. Exercises appear in most lessons, with a few templates. The aim is a set of habits you can keep using after the last lesson.

Who it is for: professionals who dislike transactional networking and want lasting relationships.
