The Online Networking Skills Programme for Business Schools and Universities
The future of networking?
Since the pandemic and perhaps now forever we will most probably be networking face-to-face and online. Where it is the latter a major benefit will be the time and cost savings. We will be both ‘Working the Room’; and ‘Working the Zoom’!
It is generally accepted there is nothing to beat physical networking but when we plan our strategy we can get close to the way we used to be able to network. Included in my training and presentations the organizer shares my thoughts on connecting physical & virtual networking.
We were all forgiven at the arrival of Covid for making errors and blunders when we thought it was all going to blow over. But when we now do our networking remotely, our network is going to expect our online communications to be as top-class as it was before Covid appeared.
As a result, the organizer now runs ‘live’ workshops online, duration from 1 hour to half a day; details here:
The business and academic communities now need to embrace both online and face-to-face networking skills. We used to ‘Work the room’; now we must also ‘Work the Zoom.’
The organizer's objective for clients is to show them how to become:
- more visible
- more proactive
Included in the presentations and workshops the organizer shares his thoughts on connecting physical & virtual networking.

What users of this online programme said:
I have had the pleasure of seeing Will deliver his Masterclasses Business Networking Skills on several occasions, and have had 121 coaching from Will on several occasions. Whilst nothing can replace seeing him perform in person, delighting his audience from the stage with his deeply practical and effective advice, this online programme is an excellent alternative.
Structured into bite size snippets, this product is perfectly structured for busy people who want to improve their confidence, competence and motivation for business networking.

I first met Will over a decade ago. So powerful and memorable was his training on networking that, even now, years later I am still recommending him to others. Therefore, I am delighted that Will has released an online version of his workshop so that more people can benefit from his excellent training.
If you want to build a more sustainable career, networking is a key tool you need to master. However, many of us are terrified of entering that room full of people, or knowing what to say. Will gives us practical tools to overcome these fears and reap the many benefits that flow from world-class networking skills.
If you want to take your networking skills to the next level, I highly recommend Will Kintish’s training.
