Overview

“Networking & Personal Branding” is designed for roles such as Specialists and managers from all industries and Project managers and team leads. In 6 hours you work your way through Your strengths and positioning, Elevator pitch and Building and nurturing networks in a structured way – with plenty of practice and time for your questions.

Expertise alone is rarely enough at work: people who present convincingly, handle conversations with confidence, manage time and priorities and guide teams effectively deliver projects faster and with fewer conflicts. In the Networking & Personal Branding training you practise exactly these skills in situations from your own working environment. We combine compact models with plenty of practice, role plays and personal feedback in small groups. Each course lasts one day and runs online or on site. You leave with proven techniques and a concrete plan for applying them in daily work.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
