Event Overview:

If you’ve ever spent valuable ‘networking’ time glued to your phone, hiding in the loo or chatting to the one person you already know, you’re not alone!

Networking, when used well, can be a game-changer in creating opportunities, yet still the very thought of it can fill many of us with dread. Why is that and how can we change our mindset?
