The Five Elements of Professional Networking

by Christopher K. Lee

Overview

Networking.

For many people, the word conjures up images of stuffy events—shaking hands, making small talk, and exchanging business cards. To them, “networking” feels forced, awkward, even disingenuous.

It doesn’t have to be this way.
True networking is more than attending events and trading favors. Whether one is an employee or an entrepreneur, a student or an executive, good relationships form the foundation of success.

The Five Elements of Professional Networking will teach people how to

• Develop the social skills to achieve career breakthroughs
  
• Gain confidence and appear more likable and trustworthy
  
• Navigate conferences and networking events like a pro
  
• Stay top of mind for career and business opportunities
  
• Become a better, more engaging conversationalist
  
• Establish credibility and influence in their industry
  
• Discover a style of networking that feels natural to them
   

Ready to build a sustainable network? There’s no magic shortcut. But for those willing to put in the effort, the rewards of networking are incredible.
