Networking and Business Interpersonal Skills

Drawing on several years of running professional and social networks, I offer personalised workshops for small groups, as well as one on one sessions, to provide essential inter-personal and business skills.  The training is targeted and practical and includes role play and real-world scenarios.

Through my company Two Degrees Group I also provide professional development focusing key skills such as business interpersonal skills, how to develop and action a networking strategy, assessing the value of contacts, using the various modes of networking, and the maintenance of effective professional relationships and more. 

In addition, I can develop in house programs and workshops for systematic and effective business development and client relationship management for both individuals and organisations.

I also provide personal coaching for business owners, managers and executives on areas they feel challenged by.

Professional Intermediary
Again, through my company, Two Degrees Group, and drawing on my range of contacts from years of consulting and professional networking, I can assist with facilitating (discretely) professional and business opportunities.  Based on your brief, I can save you considerable time and money in opening doors and assisting the process of building rapport. 

Event Management
With hundreds of events of all types under my belt, and a very experienced team who run our Schmooze networking and workshop events, we can plan and execute events ranging from launches, special events, workshops and conferences up to 200 people, even the occassional wedding!

Communication and Online Strategy Consulting
I can be engaged to develop a strategy will ensure you get results using a practical mix of communication channels, your team, networks and your current resources.

Alternately, I can review your current strategy (presuming you have one) and website, provide strategic recommendations, and provide a road-map to ensure the channel is working for you.

I can also be engaged to ensure the design, purpose and functions of your online channels are clearly defined and are aligned with your desired business outcomes.
