What You’ll Learn

"Connecting - sharing my knowledge and resources, time and energy, friends and associates, and empathy and compassion in a continual effort to provide value to others, while coincidentally increasing my own. Like business itself, being a connector is not about managing transactions, but about managing relationships." - Keith Ferrazzi

It's not about exchanging business cards and adding people on LinkedIn. Your social and professional network are extremely valuable in trying to develop partnerships for your company, find a new job, get clients, raise money for your startup, find mentors, or recruit talent for your company. It's not just about who you've met, it's about the relationships you have. And it all starts with helping others. In this class you'll learn:

Several actionable tips to implement immediately

Principles of networking - the basics

How to meet the Right people

Tips for introverts

How to turn someone you meet into someone you're close with

Mistakes to avoid

Finding ways to help people

LinkedIn and Twitter best practices

Great tools and applications to use for the above

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything more you'd like to learn about!
