As an independent worker, your network very quickly becomes your marketing voice, channel, fan-club, but more importantly, the most important tool in delivering your next project. So whether you have an ageing network that needs re-development, or a neglected one that is filled with potential but never been nurtured, or whether you don’t have any of that and you’re simply looking for a place to start – we have something that will help. In this broadcast, we’ll be discussing the ins and outs of an effective personal network and just how powerful that can be in your journey of independence. We’ll be covering: • How to start building a network • How to breathe new life into a neglected network • Best practices to establish yourself as a thought leader in your network • Suggestions on networking behaviour and typical Do’s & Don’t’s that risk alienating your connections And more.
