Networking: how to make it work for you

Author: Susanne Osterlund
TFPL Intelligent Resources, Consultant

Last night, we continued with our temps training events.  The topic was Networking.  Virginia Henry, Making Knowledge Work Ltd, was our trainer and what an event she hosted.

Never before has the boardroom at 160 Queen Victoria Street been so alive.  Virginia kicked-off with an open discussion as to what we think networking is and why do people do it.  She offered invaluable tips on how to become a successful networker and then put us all to practice.

The group was full of lively conversation and the room was buzzing with excitement.  We took Virginia’s advice and not only asked questions, but also listened to what was being said. 

Following on, Virginia made suggestions of what to do after an event. She also let us know why and how she had jointly set up LIKE (London Information & Knowledge Exchange).

Many thanks to Virginia for giving up her time to host the temps training session, it was a fantastic event and thank you to the attendees, you really made the session an excellent one!

TFPL tries to run a temps training event once a month.  The event is free to registered temps.  Any ideas of what topic(s) you would like us to cover are very welcome.
