Effective Networking Training with Pete Baillie from VOX

Most of us feel our confidence slip as we move beyond the familiar. We may be relaxed and outgoing when we’re in the company of people we

know – but put us among strangers and we’re much less comfortable. That’s why live networking occasions can feel more like nightmares than opportunities to find interesting and useful connections. Luckily there are ways of learning to thrive outside our comfort zone – to engage constructively with people whose background, status and world view may be very different from our own.

VOX’s Personal Impact and Confident Networking course generally covers the following interrelated topics: • Understanding status and how it affects communication • Reading body language, vocal tone and other signals • Feeling confident in unfamiliar environments • Getting your message across in networking situations • Speaking so that others want to listen • Overcoming cultural barriers • Strengthening your natural communication style
