Social Phobic or 'Reluctant' Networker? with Joan Callaghan

Networking is professed to be the way forward in increasing your business. 'Learn How to Network' courses, networking events and networking 'clubs' have mushroomed over the past few years. 'You too can increase your business / social circle - let us show you how in 4/5/6/7 easy steps'

Then what happens to the people who 'can't' - those who come away feeling very despondent because 'it's just not them to do that kind of thing?' Social phobics and 'reluctant' networkers (same thing in my book) - are they catered for?

According to Carl Jung's theory on personality types / drivers and motivators this will account for around 50% of the world population!

So, how do Social Phobics and 'Reluctant' Networkers do business?  How will you help someone (or yourself) in this position? 

This fun, interactive presentation from Joan Callaghan may be the answer to that. Joan is an ex psychiatric nurse who has studied with psychologists and who has great business acumen. She is a business skills coach with a particular interest in social phobia and networking - delivering presentation skills courses to the very knock kneed!!! Joan is also an NLP practitioner and National Phobics Society registered therapist.

Come and see what makes the difference between those that can and those that think they 'can't'. Leave with tools and techniques that Joan uses effectively on a day by day basis.

Our guest presenter this time is Don Smith with a session entitled "Hard Talk on Soft Skills" - he did a session for the Manchester NLP Group when I used to run that and he's an excellent speaker. I hope you can make it if you're in the area.
