Competent Jerks and Loveable Fools: How Does your Network Work?

 
Competent jerks and loveable fools
 

On Friday 17 October I facilitated a workshop for Young Insurance Professionals Aust & NZ [YIPs] about building networks.  It was a sell out - with professionals from Insurers, brokers, law firms, and accounting firms taking an interest in career development, industry news and catching up with friends and colleagues.  Added bonus was the CPD / CIP points.

What we covered:

  1. The role of cohesive and bridging networks for career development

  2. The strength of weak connections

  3. Team networks: lovable fools and competent jerks

  4. Mapping and managing a network

  5. Getting started: Actions for tomorrow and longer term.

Hats off to AON and Wotton & Kearney Lawyers for supporting this event.
