SILVER TO GOLD NETWORKING

I recently presented a seminar on ‘networking’ to the AIM Young Professionals Group as part of my business ambassador role with AIM SA.

Here are five of the ten tips I discussed at the seminar:

1. Be yourself and give of yourself.

2. Successful networkers listen - give 100% of your attention when communicating.

3. Give without expecting in return.

4. People do business with people they like and trust. Networking is about building win/win relationships for the long term.

 
5. Always reward and recognise - acknowledge and thank people for their referrals.

As well as networking, Katrina provides seminars on several topics that can be tailored to your organisations needs.

ACTIVE NETWORKING

A great way to stay active if you are a busy person is to incorporate 'Active Networking' into your schedule. Here are five tips on 'Active Networking' by Sue Sheppard Performance Coach and Personal Trainer - Beyond Potential (sue@beyondpotential.com.au).

Walking Meetings: Instead of meeting in an office, go for a walk. The fresh air and activity will
 be beneficial and you may come up with some great ideas by simply meeting in a different environment. Grab your coffee “to go” and walk and talk.

Group Activities: If you're looking for something different to drinks and canapés, why not
organize a fun group activity. Physical activity in a group setting, whether it's a gentle walk or
hike, games day or boot camp, is a great way to learn more about your colleagues and contacts
and build great relationships too.
 

Groups and Clubs: If you usually exercise on your own, why not join a club or group with a similar interest? Many successful people make physical activity part of their day in order to sustain their energy levels and achieve optimal performance - the person training or working out next to you just might be the person you need to connect with.

Team Challenge: Organize or participate in a corporate team challenge. Whether it's a particular sport or just a one-off Sports Day or Tug of War between companies within a similar (or different) industry, a team challenge is a great way to meet new people in an environment of fun and excitement.

In conjunction with Healthy Teams we provide tailored, outcome based and fun team challenges and group activities.

Happy Networking!
