Networking is a prolific activity especially at events, yet most of us have never been taught how to do it effectively. And for many, it causes apprehension and anxiety. We are here to change that, to help you reframe networking, so it feels more like a challenging adventure versus a dreaded chore. Delivered with elements of humor and improv you’ll practice setting networking goals, revealing new ways of answering “what do you do?”, asking “best” questions to get to know more about the person than just their profession, and establish follow up tactics to surprise and delight your new connections.
In this webinar, attendees will learn to:
- Develop a practice of defining and executing networking goals (before, during, and after).
- Forge deeper connections with people you meet by creating on-ramps for conversation.
- Create pre-networking rituals to set purpose, build confidence, and reduce anxiety.

During her time working at the Canadian Consulate Alyce attended an absurd amount of networking events and typically left them feeling disappointed and drained. She started pondering, “if networking is so important, how come no one has ever taught me how”? That ponderance became her business, where for the last 8 years, she has been teaching people how to make networking less sucky and sharing scientifically proven tools to help people achieve a return on networking (RON). She believes, if you’re going to invest time in networking, you owe it to yourself to see a return.
