Career Coaching with Coach Stella Mantechou

Networking That Works: From First Contact to Referral

Effective networking isn’t about collecting contacts or asking strangers for referrals. It’s about knowing who to approach, how to start the conversation, and how to build the trust that makes someone want to advocate for you.

In this practical and interactive webinar, you’ll learn how to craft outreach that gets responses, lead meaningful career conversations and follow up strategically to turn new connections into relationships that can generate introductions, referrals and opportunities.

Through practical examples and breakout exercises, you’ll put these techniques into practice and learn what it takes to become referral-worthy.
