Knowing how to connect with people and build relationships is not just about finding your first job. It is a lifelong skill that shapes your development and future, both personally and professionally.
For many students, connecting, networking, and building relationships can feel both uncomfortable and challenging. Whether it is about finding your first job, securing funding for your research, or growing within an organisation, your ability to connect with others and communicate who you are and what you can contribute plays a critical role.
In this webinar, you will learn why building connections matters and how to become more comfortable doing it, whether you are an extrovert or an introvert.
You will gain practical rhetorical tools to start conversations without overthinking, how to present yourself with clarity, and how to stay in touch in a way that allows relationships to develop naturally over time.
Knowing what to say and how to say it in the right moment is what can lead to new insights, opportunities, and shape your future.
