How to Network:
A Guide to Professional Relationship Building and Connecting with Purpose (Creating Success series)
“A deeply human approach to business development, Kirsty describes in-person networking as the ‘heavyweight’ in the relationship-building arena and reminds us that networking is simply human connection or, to put it another way, making friends with strangers. If you’re running a business or you simply want to develop your influence and reputation, you won’t achieve your goal in isolation. You have to build your tribe. And as you turn the pages of this book, you’ll be better equipped and motivated to do just that.”
Andrew Thorp – Communication coach and trainer – the Multi-Story Man and Director of MojoLife
