Let’s go back to the basics – and we don’t mean swapping business cards.
In today’s highly competitive world, being a confident and effective networker sets you apart from the crowd. You become more visible, always feel in control and will always create more career and business opportunities than the average.
In this month’s Highered Masterclass Dr. Amber Wigmore Alvarez is joined by Will Kintish of Kintish Networking Skills International Speaker and published author of the best seller Business Networking – The Survival Guide: How to make networking less about stress and more about success. In his talk with Amber, Will provides you with the practical do’s and don’ts for various networking occasions and how to make the most of your time spent networking.
