Networking Up

Networking is used every day by billions of people for different reasons. This session called "Networking Up" is about equipping you with the networking skills to empower you to progress your career. Many of us strive to move up the corporate ladder, some by a step or two, others wish to climb all the way to CEO.

Come along to learn some introductory and practical ideas which may help your career dreams become a reality.

Presenter | Catherine Logue has been conducting her training consultancy for the past 16 years, working with government departments, training colleges, private industry and regularly with the University. Catherine uses the fundamentals of adult learning principals and creative techniques which ensure fun and learning. An experienced networker with broad networks across Adelaide, Australia and around the world, this session sees Catherine share tips and ideas on how to "Network Up" to help you progress both professionally and personally.

2012 Speed Networking

We all know that networking is a great tool to help build strong relationships that benefit you with your current role and help you secure the next one.

However, sometimes it can be tricky to find the right opportunity to facilitate networking, especially if you have a role that keeps you at your desk for most of the day.

That's where WPDN's networking session can help!

JOIN US for this 1 hour world-wind Speed Networking event that will give you access to your colleagues from around the University.

Don't forget to bring your business cards to exchange
or email jessica.cronin@adelaide for a template you can print to hand out for the day.

TARGET AUDIENCE : University of Adelaide staff members wanting to build their connections around the University and practice their networking skills. Professional and academic, male and female staff all welcome.

This networking session will be presented by you!

However, networking devotees Jen Clark
(Postgraduate Careers Development Manager, Professions Student Support Hub)
and Jess Cronin (Regional Coordinator, International Office)
will be on hand to facilitate.

Past EVENTS

Speed Networking, WPDN style

This structured speed networking session is a fun and interactive way to meet a lot of university staff in a short period of time. Come armed with questions or just come for the fun of it. Learn from others about how they climbed the ladder, what life is like in their branch of the university, and some of the career moves that got them here in the first place. You are encouraged to use business cards if you have them.

Networking for Chickens

Networking is difficult because it takes us out of our comfort zones – so we end up talking to someone we already know and trying to avoid making new connections! In this session you will learn and practice simple techniques for confidently interacting with people in networking situations.

Topics will include:

• The principles for effective networking
• How to think strategically and create a networking plan
• Asking good questions to build relationships
• What to say when they ask, “What do you do?”
• Keeping the conversation going
• Dealing with tricky networking situations

By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

• start and continue a networking conversation
• be more confident in speaking with people
• build stronger relationships
• get more from each networking event
