Course Summary

Networking is a core business skill, but one that is so rarely taught (or taught well). It is imperative that leaders (and aspiring leaders) understand how to strategically developing a strong and expanding network. Why? Because one of the competencies that differentiates a leader from merely an executions is the ability to bring business and opportunity into an organization. So, how do you cultivate a robust network for yourself, and have networking prowess spill over to your team? No, you needn't demand that everyone on your team be extraverted and chatty with a packed social calendar. You do, however, need to supercharge your networking by being deliberate, strategic and goal-oriented with your networking.

This course aims to teach leaders how to adopt a new and purposeful networking attitude, spot networking opportunities, and develop the appropriate networking habits and skills. Start growing your business today with this thoughtful course. Each module comes with hands-on activities to reinforce your learning and supercharge your networking outcomes.

Course Structure: Instead of lengthy videos, we use a micro-learning approach with short, impactful videos (mostly between 2-6 minutes), each focusing on a specific learning objective.  To explore the topic in greater detail, each module also contains a 2-3 page executive planner.
