What the session will cover:

To attract new opportunities (and promotions and job offers) talent and hard work clearly help. But in large organisations, the variety and depth of your relationships outside your team often determines the final result.

In this webinar Steve Dalton, bestselling author of The 2-Hour Job Search and The Job Closer explains his formula for networking for career growth based on:

• Proactively reaching out to colleagues (whether you known them or not)

• Building a large network within your organisation through short informational meetings that turn strangers into advocates

We will also look at different scenarios and how to deal with them, including:

• How to reach out naturally to senior colleagues

• What to say about yourself and your career goals

• Why one-to-one meetings work better than conferences and social events

• Why you don't need a specific 'goal' or 'ask' to reach out

• Why and how you can stay 'in the loop' and/or be better informed than your colleagues

Everyone who registers will be asked to complete a preliminary survey and we will discuss the results in the webinar.

All registrations include access to the webinar and the chance to ask questions live, a catch-up recording of the webinar, and a bonus materials resource pack including slides and support materials.
