Media Release:
If Men Are From Mars & Women are from Venus, How On Earth Do they Network?
Being successful in business requires women to be able to network equally effectively with men and women. On 4 August HerBusiness presents “Networking with Men” a free national web-seminar that looks at why networking with men takes particular skills and why women need to master these skills to have Mars and Venus play nice on Earth! Presenter Candy Tymson (author of Gender Games, Doing Business with the Opposite Sex) will address:
- Do men and women approach networking differently?
- Do the characteristics of a good networker go beyond gender?
- How do you network best with men (especially if you’re in a male-dominated industry or a woman looking to rise in the ranks of a business where the senior players are men?)
- How to decipher the success of the “MBA” – Male Business Acumen
- The three types of networks and how to use them
- Well-kept secrets on how to become guy-lingual in your communication, and sell your ideas
- What to talk about, how to follow-up
- How to approach a group of men with ease (and escape when the time comes!)
At the end of the presentation a Q&A session will allow women (who can attend from all corners of Australia using web-seminar technology to participate) to ask questions relevant to their individual circumstances.
“Networking is an important business skill and much as we’d like it to be different, women often find themselves in male-dominated environments feeling unwelcome and not sure how to network with men, especially men who are their seniors. That’s why we’ve put together, with the help of a gender-based communications specialist, a one-hour easy-to-access workshop that will give women proven strategies and confidence to make the most of networking situations.” – Suzi Dafnis, CEO HerBusiness
