SUMMARY:Learning and Development Roundtable: Networking tips and tools to nip nerves in the bud
DESCRIPTION:You\, the Learning and Development Roundtable members asked for a workshop on networking and here’s the result….. \nWhen I say networking\, do you scrunch up your face in frustration\, nerves or dismay?  Do you think of networking like bad tasting cough medicine\, something you know you need to take/do but really\, you’d rather not? \nDoes the mere mention of networking make your stomach roll with images of pushy sales people in bad\, polyester suits? \nDo you think networking is about getting super personal?  Or not personal enough?  As merely handing out business cards during awkward cocktail conversations? \nDo I have news for you my friend. \n“Networking is not only about trading information\, but also serves as an avenue to create long-term relationships with mutual benefits.“ \n“The importance of the saying “no man is an Island” … is the reason why many of us need to make a collective effort in the bid to achieve professional success. For many individuals that have succeeded in their career\, the causes have largely been contributed to the strong networking channels they have created over time.” (Source: Forbes). \nSounds convincing. \nBut networking doesn’t have to be and shouldn’t be painful.  \nIt can and should be interesting\,  intriguing and something you actually look forward to. \nThe key is networking in a way that works for you with tools that fit you. \nThis is the last Learning and Development Roundtable of 2023 before we take a break and start afresh in 2024 so don’t miss out. \nNote: November is our 11th anniversary and the 11th month so you’ll notice a theme here! \nIn this free workshop on November 16th with me\, Lee-Anne Ragan you’ll:\n\nUncover eleven reasons why networking is so important\nCreate a customized networking map for yourself\nDive into eleven simple yet powerful do’s and don’ts for effective networking\nLearn eleven creative tools for mastering the art and science of networking\nCome away refreshed\, confident\, and ready to tackle networking head-on with your head held high\nGain access to a workbook that includes all the tips\, tools and techniques to take the pain out of networking\nCount the workshop towards your annual professional development requirement (if you’re a UN staff)   \n\nRSVP using this link by November 14th.
