Looking forward to my workshop with the Society for International Development (SID) Washington, DC Chapter, which is the “largest and most active chapter of SID” (See below). My program will be, “The Deliberate Networker: Build Stronger & More Valuable Relationships” (see more training and speaking topics).
My speaking and training programs are always hands-on, and this one, in particular, was especially so. Networking and building relationships are by their very nature, person-to-person. As such I will have the participants:
- Share their elevator pitch
- Demonstrate a few executive-level and confidence-building body language techniques
- Learn the art and science of business storytelling
- Gain (new) insights into human behavior with our “Treat Everyone Like a CEOTM“
The three key concepts to tie everything together will include: 1) Be self-aware; 2) Make me care; and 3) Think Deliberately.
If you are not a member of SID, they welcome interested persons. Send an email to events@sidw.org and mention me.
The Deliberate Networker: Build Stronger & More Valuable Relationships
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The best networkers are relationship builders. They are deliberate with the people they spend time with, and at the events they attend. As an art, networking blends human behavior, storytelling, and trust. As a science, it requires you to act like a chess grandmaster. Join us for a fun and hands-on program as we explore proven ways to make the right “next moves” that can get you noticed by recruiters, accelerate career success, and promote your brand to establish yourself in your field.
Following the program, there will be an optional networking session with fellow participants in addition to a Happy Hour at Cities Restaurant & Lounge (1212 18th St NW, Washington D.C.).
