Does the prospect of networking make you shudder? Of course it does!

I Hate Networking is a surprisingly fun event designed to encourage people to get to know each other while acknowledging the horror of networking and sharing a few tips at the same time. While it’s a vital skill, many business owners consider networking to be the stuff of nightmares. I Hate Networking combines education with the opportunity to practice in a safe and friendly environment while embracing the discomfort of the whole process and having a laugh.

Tips that will be shared include:
+ Success is before you start – preparing before the event;
+ Mastering the art of the introduction;
+ Overcoming shyness, awkwardness and the urge to run away;
+ Dealing with wankers and other difficult people;
+ Getting the all-important follow-up right.
