In our previous post, Speed Networking Goes To Work, we revealed the details and benefits of speed networking and explored how in-house speed networking events help HR and Management to improve employee engagement, build teams and enhance corporate culture.
Today, let’s delve below the surface for a moment, and explore the less tangible benefits to Speed Networking (or any networking, for that matter…)
Our philosophical viewpoint on networking is deep. It is based on life and change.
It’s cliche but it is true: the only constant in life is change. We change schools, jobs, locations and (sometimes) marital status, throughout our lives. And these transitions can be very trying on our emotions. The ability to use these opportunities as a tool to improve our lives is a vital skill for all of us. The secret to reducing stress and getting maximum satisfaction comes with developing the skills we need to successfully manage life changes. Whether bouncing back from financial ruin, divorce or illness, utilizing these necessary skills can turn these stumbling blocks into stepping stones.
What are these necessary life skills? Well, we have all heard that the most successful people master the art of goal-setting. Staying organized is another important aspect to managing our life and the changes that come about. Thinking in a positive manner is also vital to living fully. And of course, relationship development. That’s where Speed Networking comes in.
Speed Networking is a unique form of relationship management that allows you to develop a large and positive sphere of influence. The relationships you make and nurture help you increase your productivity, enhance your career and enrich your life in many ways.
