Turn brief introductions into lasting advocates

Professional opportunities often take shape through relationships long before they appear in formal processes. Networking today depends on clarity, credibility and consistency rather than chance encounters or surface visibility. This course develops practical networking skills that support meaningful professional relationships across meetings, events and ongoing interactions. Participants focus on presenting a credible professional identity, starting conversations with intent and maintaining contact in ways that feel appropriate and sustainable. 

The course covers both internal and external networks so relationships remain relevant as priorities shift. The result is stronger professional reach, trusted connections and networks that support influence and continued opportunity over time.
