Building a High Value Network Within Your Company (Career Event #29)
Although cultivating the right kinds of relationships and truly mastering the art of networking with our work colleagues is essential, it still remains elusive. Learn how to leverage your internal network to succeed at work.
Description: It
is generally assumed that networks can help us in our job searches and in
connecting to new people. Networks also have the power to help us get work done
more effectively, solve problems faster and to impact bottom line business
results. For many of us, cultivating the right kinds of relationships and truly
mastering the art of networking with our work colleagues is essential, but still
remains elusive.
In
this dynamic presentation you will explore the foundations of successful
network building, including special ways that the most successful people
leverage their internal network to succeed at work.
You will discover the
critical qualities of effective internal networks, four types of Go To's and
Advisors that you must have in your network and even how to position yourself as
a true hub and high-profile/high-value resource among your work colleagues.
It's a fast-paced and engaging ride through the most current research and best
practices on how to truly create value through the relationships in your
network.
