Program Overview: Networking is a skill. And like any skill, it can be learned. No matter the field you are in or the goal ahead, networking is a force to be reckoned with when utilizing it in your life and career. To think that any task, large or small, can be made so much smoother with the right team around you is a way to think about how networking can assist you. HR professional networking is assembling your squad, meeting the next power contact for your company or brand, and moving through the web of humans around all of us to better our chances of success.

Learning Objectives:

• Define networking and its strategic importance as a human resource professional
• Explore the three levels of networking (company, self, and craft/career)
• Apply a networking framework to build strategic relationships within and outside of the organization
• Incorporate goal setting and reflection to achieve and inspire intentional human connection
