Networking for Introverts

Networking can be a powerful way to make connections, build relationships and exchange information and resources. However, networking is an activity and a skill that may challenge you or take you out of your comfort zone. In this workshop, Professor Kerry Brown, and Dr Jalleh Sharafizad support you on your networking journey and offer helpful advice on making the most of your networking experience. As an outcome of this workshop, you will have a better idea of how to use networking opportunities to build your academic career, have tips to start your networking, and we hope, be able to connect with key stakeholders within your networks with a renewed sense of purpose and confidence.
