Seminar

According to recent studies by Harvard and Stanford business schools, the ability to converse and build solid relationships with employers, colleagues, clients and co-workers is identified as the #1 success factor. The key to bonding with others is to move out of your comfort zone, adopt the “host mentality” and start making person-to-person connections. 

For the engineering and geoscience professional the ability to communicate and network effectively can boost your profile and engender better business alliances and connections for mutual benefit. This session will enhance both your personal and professional life by providing you with some simple strategies to quickly build rapport with others, overcome shyness, start small talk and take it to BIG talk, and enter and exit conversations with finesse.

Included is a module that will help you gain an understanding of the power of image in meeting other’s expectations, build a consistent corporate brand and use your personal image in an effective business manner. It will offer practical tools to gauge your image impact and enable you to appear professional even in your casual wear.
