Working the Room

From our extensive research and many surveys we know that over 98% of people feel somewhere between anxious and petrified when walking into a room at a business (or even social) event. It's called a 'social phobia' and is one of the highest ranking phobias in the world. In one hour, we will show you how to be in command and control of the room resulting in you becoming a more confident and effective networker.

• getting yourself into the right mental state
• what the best time is to enter and leave the event
• surveying the room
• which groups to approach
• which groups not to approach
• introductions
• moving on with courtesy and politeness
• 'Parking' and 'Dumping'
• rude people
• how to overcome your fear of rejection

"I feel much more confident, both in business and personal events, about approaching people and attending more events."

"It was fun, informative, thought provoking and reassuring. It gave me more confidence to be more brave when networking! I also realised often people feel the same way about networking as me!"
