How to network if you HATE networking!
Join this C4DI event that explores a refreshing alternative to the high-pressure, often uncomfortable world of conventional networking.
About this event
Entering a room full of strangers and being expected to strike up conversation can feel like a daunting and unnatural experience. If you're an introvert, someone who feels overwhelmed by the traditional approach to networking, or simply someone who hasn't found their footing in building connections, this event is for you.
Join us as we explore a refreshing alternative to the high-pressure, often uncomfortable world of conventional networking.
In this session, we’ll challenge the narrative that success comes only through relentless self-promotion and constant networking. Instead, you’ll discover thoughtful, effective, and more authentic ways to connect that align with your personality and values.
Here’s what we’ll delve into:
- Rethinking the need to promote yourself 24/7.
- Understanding that meaningful connections don't rely on quantity but quality.
- Exploring why "never eating alone" isn't the only pathway to success.
- Building genuine relationships without the constant pressure to "get out there."
- Creating opportunities for connection in ways that feel natural and empowering.
This alternative perspective will be delivered by Bob Spence, former Business Development Director at Coutts Bank, who has years of experience proving that there’s another way to build relationships and thrive professionally.
Come along to learn how you can embrace networking in a way that works for you—and finally leave those awkward conversations behind.
Let’s redefine networking together!
