Everyone needs a bigger network

Professional networking scares some people and can sometimes seem pointless or irrelevant. This workshop will address why this may be the case for scientists and will demonstrate the importance of developing interpersonal skills to advance your projects and career.

It will cover:

• Developing a positive mind-set
• How to build strong relationships quickly
• Using social media to manage face to face interactions
• Setting a strategy for achieving results

You'll take away:

• Techniques for building your confidence and finding your voice outside the scientific community
• Tips on etiquette and behaviour for both online and face to face networking
• Knowledge of how to create opportunities and make the most of new contacts
