VIDEO: Networking like a pro and how to improve your visibility | Mary McGuire

How good are you at networking? 

• Do you get into a cold-sweat at the thought of having to explain what you do to senior leaders?
• Do you hope that your work will be recognised if you work hard enough?
• Have you seen others recognised for work you have done?
• All of these are symptoms of not networking.
• As a professional in a connected world, you need to be comfortable with networking and sharing your unique skills in a confident and concise way.

In this session we will cover:

• Why networking is essential to your career
• Personal brand – what do you stand for?
• Your elevator pitch – make it memorable
• Define your USPs – what makes you you!
• Networking in a virtual world
