Alumnae Network of Harvard Women Switzerland
Coffee not Cocktails: Networking Strategies for Women
Dr. Janet Shaner, MBA '89 - President of Top10 Learning Solutions
Presented by: Julie Bertolus, Board Member, ANHW Switzerland
You know networking is important - no surprises. A good network can help you raise funds for your startup, get promoted, bring new ideas, and build your reputation. Yet women who try to network exactly like men will probably not succeed.
Scientific research reveals that smart networking for women depends on building certain relationships with both men and women. Networking is more about coffee and less about cocktails. More about being involved in activities and less about networking events. About building relationships rather than collecting business cards. Giving versus taking. And having the right networking strategy is what you need to reach your goals.
In this interactive webinar, Dr. Shaner will discuss how to create a science-based networking strategy, customized for women, for better results.
Time: 18 May 2021, 8:30-9:30pm (45 minutes presentation, 15 minutes Q&A)
