The Art of Networking

Entering a room full of strangers and trying to strike up conversation can feel anything but natural. If you’re an introvert, someone who finds traditional networking overwhelming, or just someone who hasn’t quite found your rhythm when it comes to building professional connections, this session is for you.

Join us as we explore a refreshing alternative to the high-pressure, often uncomfortable world of conventional networking.

In this one-hour workshop, Bob Spence (former Business Development Director at Coutts Bank and seasoned networking expert) will guide you through how to connect meaningfully without having to morph into a relentless self-promoter.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• Why constant self-promotion isn’t the only (or best) route to success
• How quality relationships beat quantity every time
• Why you don’t have to “never eat alone” to build a strong network
• How to create opportunities for connection in ways that feel natural and empowering
• How to leave behind the pressure, awkwardness, and inauthentic conversations for goodBob’s practical, thoughtful approach proves that you can thrive professionally while staying true to yourself – and even enjoy the process!
  

  Who should attend?

  • Anyone who feels uncomfortable with traditional networking
  • Introverts and reflective personalities looking for a new approach
  • Business professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives who want to build real, lasting connections without the overwhelm
