Healthy businesses are comprised of individuals who understand the full scope of the business, what it takes to be successful, and what roles everyone within the organization plays in contributing to the mission. Networking is the key to gaining the full circle of knowledge and support that is required to make an organization whole, healthy, and successful. As an HR professional, you must know the people you work with, what they do, and how you can collaborate with one another to boost the company's success.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand that networking is a set of skills used to expand one's community (internally and externally), demonstrate interest, and build trust.
- Learn the competencies involved in being an effective networker and how to apply them.
- Practice a few critical networking skills you can utilize with your organization as a way to expand your knowledge of the business, your investment in the mission of the organization, and your ability to provide professional expertise more broadly.

Christine Burrows
I currently have the privilege of leading a national network of consultants, coaches and trainers. In partnership with JoDee Curtis, we are helping solopreneurs in the “people” space grow their businesses and better serve their clients. I have been an educator, writer, marketer, business developer, connector, and content strategist at different times in my life. Now, I am all of those things at once. After years of connecting folks just because I couldn’t help myself (including the young man next me on the airplane and my daughter), I am now building a business on the promise that connection is powerful, valuable, and vital to being human.
