Cultivating Your Virtual Network

Cultivating Your Virtual Network

Gallup found that “People who have a “best friend at work” are seven times as likely to be engaged in their job” (Vital Friends, Tom Rath). We all know workplace relationships are key; and in a virtual setting, it can be difficult to figure out how to widen your circle. Participants will practice virtual networking. In addition to learning from and teaching your colleagues, we will share well-established tips and tricks for growing your professional network, as well as the benefits it provides. You will leave with a “Vital Friends” worksheet that helps you determine which of your colleagues play key roles in your professional network, so you can continue
to strengthen those bonds. (45 min workshop)
