"Networking: The Art and Science
of Relationship Building"
Kate Bloom, MBA - Healthcare Client Management Professional
Our ability to move forward in work and life depends on
our approach for building new relationships and strengthening
existing relationships. "Networking" is a buzz
word in today's global market place which is often misunderstood.
Our ability to network (i.e., build and then maintain and
enhance valuable, qualitative, and mutually beneficial relationships),
whether in person or by way of social media or other form
of communication is critical for our professional growth
and success.
What are some approaches we can use to help us build effective
and satisfying relationships that will last over time? This
interactive workshop will include, but not be limited to,
the following:
- How do you create value in a conversation?
- How can you gauge the other person's interest?
- How do you move a relationship forward?
- What are some examples of effective and ineffective
strategies?
Join us and learn some practical approaches and techniques
that may help you be most comfortable and effective in your
networking opportunities!

and former HR Executive)
