Business Networking Strategy

I have a number of business networking events in March where you can come and hear me speak. These include: Friday March 9th - Professional Speakers Association Scotland - Edinburgh Thistle Hotel (St. James's) 7pm. 'Networking with Focus'. Full details and booking information to follow. Wednesday March 14th - European Young Professionals - Pangaea, Mayfair, London 7pm. 'Its Not What You Know...' . Details and booking information can be found here.

After speaking at a recent event, one of the attendees was explaining how, in his view, despite the high intelligence and career achievements of many of the people present the majority of them had a low EQ, making it difficult for them to network effectively. I had been acquainted with the idea of EQ instead of IQ, the power of emotional intelligence compared to what we traditionally classify as 'intellect', before. What I hadn't looked at before was its link to networking but surely there is a clear parallel.

What's holding you back from achieving your goals? What is stopping you making the most of the networking opportunities that come your way? Is it possible that the answer might be you?
