Program Highlights:

• The types of networks that will be most useful to you.

• How to be both sincere and credible when you are building your networks.

• Some networks won't last very long and others will flourish.

Good networking is important to a person's future - but they are also a benefit to organizations in terms of improving productivity as well as communication between different business units. In addition, networks also provide benefits of a social nature and contribute to our identity and well-being.

Good networks result in the exchange of information between individuals who might otherwise be unconnected. It follows that  networking requires that you change the way you think about people. In this presentation, Professor Baron offers solid suggestions for building a personal network that is both useful and effective.
