What do you want to be known for and who by?
Networking is too often thought of as being about exchanging elevator pitches and business cards over cold canapes and warm wine (other than at mallowstreet events of course!). Or exchanging connection requests on mallowstreet and LinkedIn.
But it’s about much more than that. In this session Andy Lopata will explore exactly what networking is and the difference it makes to your career, your performance and your business.
