"The richest people in the world look for and build networks, everyone else looks for work." -Robert T. Kiyosaki


Networking is Indispensable

Building professional relationships relies heavily on networking, whether with your coworkers at your office, at a convention your company may be putting on, or at one of the many networking events available to professionals in any industry at any given time. However, the skill of networking is something we never learn in school and are almost never formally taught.


Networking requires skills

Networking is scary, especially if its in a room full of people you don’t know. Stepping out of your comfort zone and being able to come across as confident and worthy of someone’s connection requires all of the other skills we include in our curriculum at Future Image Group - Intention, Curiosity, Boundaries, Overcoming Social Anxiety, and Using Technology Properly. Remember, networking is not transactional and it’s not a one-and-done conversation. Networking is an ongoing process that begins with introduction and conversation, but depends on ongoing interaction and socialization to maintain the relationship.


You Can Be a Great Networker

Imagine walking into a room full of potential connections without the fear typically associated with networking. When you enter any social situation with intention and a plan to achieve your set goals, it’s much easier to get to know people and be confident in your abilities. Let’s face it; Everyone else in the room is probably feeling a similar degree of trepidation, and you can stand out by being the person to say “hello.” Future Image Group can give you the tools you need to round out your networking skills through one-on-one or group training. Though we teach you how to interact in professional situations, this know-how will undoubtedly help you build more fulfilling personal relationships as well.

This is a process. It will take time, effort, and commitment. But, it is not hard once we’re over the fear of the unknown. If you know what you are afraid of, you can look it straight in the eye and work through it. The process will undoubtedly bring a level of richness, reward, and personal satisfaction through learning how to connect to each other as human beings and professionals.


Mindless fear is greater than mindful fear.
