Budd networking events are great places for industry professionals to learn, share and above all, network with peers and friends in informal surroundings. If you haven't been before, fulfill your New Year resolution to meet more interesting people and join us!
About the event
Networking - We all do it to a certain degree. A lot of the time we do it without even realising it. Most of us want to do it more! In this session we'll look at different angles to The Psychology of Successful Business Networking - and we won't just be talking about Linked In!!!
Being successful in your daily life within an organisation requires strong influencing skills to make change happen. How can you develop and apply your networking skills to 'take people with you', deliver lasting change and so be successful?
We will have two speakers with great experience who will share their thoughts on how to achieve success.

You will already know that Budd's very own Peter Massey is a prolific networker so he will also share some of his secrets for networking and relationship development both within clients and across the industry. Having tried many approaches over the years he knows what works and what doesn't!
