20 Networking Tips
This week I ran a one day workshop in Stockholm for senior women managers in Pfizer. The workshop is part of a company-wide initiative to support and encourage women within Pfizer who have leadership potential – a great example of effective talent management. The subject of the workshop was ‘Visibility & Networking in Pfizer’ and we spent time discussing some common anxieties about networking and how to overcome them. It was a fantastic day and brought home to participants the value of networking, the importance of making it personal and of nurturing relationships. What a pleasure to work with a great group of women with plenty of ideas and enthusiasm! I reckon Pfizer will soon reap the benefits of this particular investment.
Do you need help with networking or some networking tools? Have a look at my workshop handout ‘JPA’s 20 Networking Tips’ – it’s based on years of experience!
