I HATE NETWORKING – ONLINE WORKSHOP

The ASE is pleased to present the second workshop funded by NSW Small Business month 2022

I HATE NETWORKING!

2 hour workshop – online
On
15th March at 7-9 pm

TAKE THE PAIN OUT OF EVERYBODY’S LEAST FAVOURITE TACTIC

I HATE NETWORKING is a surprisingly fun event designed to encourage creative people to get to know each other, while acknowledging the horror, and sharing a few tips at the same time. While it’s a vital skill in the creative industries, many practitioners consider networking to be the stuff of nightmares. I HATE NETWORKING combines education with the opportunity to practice in a safe and friendly environment, while embracing the discomfort of the whole process and having a laugh.

Tips that will be shared include:

  • Success is before you start – preparing before the event;
  • Mastering the art of the introduction;
  • Overcoming shyness, awkwardness and the urge to run away;
  • Dealing with wankers and other difficult people;
  • Getting the all-important follow-up right.

You'll learn how to network in the first half of the session, and practice your skills in the second half.

What do I get?  All participants of this workshop also receive:

  • Lifetime access to a dedicated Dropbox folder jam packed with resources;
  • Access to additional free webinars to supplement the material covered in the workshop;
  • The possibility of further one-to-one business advice, mentoring and support from one of our creative industries business specialist advisors.
