Session 1: You and networking

In this introductory class, you will explore how networking can be beneficial for you and analyze your current strengths and weaknesses when it comes to networking and develop an action plan of what and how you want to improve. Furthermore, you will learn about different networking opportunities in Rotterdam, and you will be asked to attend one of them in between the masterclasses

Session 2: Networking Conversations

We all struggle with starting or joining the conversation or transitioning from seemingly endless small talk to productive conversation. In this session, you will practice initiating, maintaining, and closing networking conversations. Additionally, you will develop a short personal pitch, so you know how to effectively answer the questions like “what do you do?”.

Session 3: Personal brand and network

How can you utilize and maintain your current network? In this session, you will learn how to create and communicate a personal brand on social media via interaction and content creation. Moreover, you will explore how to utilize networking skills to create and maintain connections for the future.
