Building your Networks to support your Career

What is it about?

Building your Networks to support your Career

Research indicates that men and women create different networks and use them differently, so what can you learn from the gendered approaches? In this 75-minute masterclass, you will be
encouraged to review your networks, what works for you and what challenges you face. In addition, come prepared to examine your answer to the question “what do you do?” and to identify ways to build your networks to support your career. During the online masterclass there will be an opportunity to ‘meet’ your fellow participants, practise your networking skills and begin to expand your network.
By the end of the masterclass participants will be able to:

• Identify who you need in your influential and friendship network, and why
• Answer the question “what do you do” – without your job title!
•  Why networking is an important part of career progression and the importance of sponsorship (not just mentorship).
