Networking is for Neanderthals™
Neanderthals got a bum rap. They were not the ham-fisted cavemen often portrayed in cartoons. These primal beings made tools, protected their territories, created social networks and are believed to have been adept at finding resources and cooperating strategically.
IRONICALLY, THEY'RE THE SAME SKILL SETS EVERYONE IN BUSINESS CRAVES!
Here's some facts:
* 3 out of 4 adults struggle at some level with having to network in business
* 40% of Americans consider themselves shy!
* Approximately 5.3 million Americans have social phobia.
Networking and gossip expert Shawne Duperon says, just like Neanderthals, we all have a primal need to connect, interact and to create social networks. That's why she holds workshops all across the country called "Networking is for NeanderthalsTM." This innovative and experiential workshop has participants interact, work in groups and move around the room, as they discuss and dismantle their current networking beliefs. By the end of the training, participants radically transform their belief systems around how they "should" be networking. Their primal instincts will kick in... The inevitable outcome is ease with people, more confidence and a new sense of fun, play and adventure while networking.
