Many professionals avoid networking because they find it uncomfortable, ingenuine and a waste of time. Yet, many of us are aware that we could potentially get more out of networking – after all, it’s a common tool in business and career growth.
Julissa Shrewsbury has used networking to build two successful businesses and navigate three career changes; she has also helped hundreds of clients to build a focused networking strategy to achieve their own goals. Julissa’s approach to networking is the polar opposite of the traditional ‘salesy’ approach – it’s not about working the room, it’s not about attending everything and it’s not about having coffees with everyone you meet. It’s about being strategic and selective, and ‘on-brand’ with who you are as a professional.
This workshop is for teams who need to build motivation and confidence to network.
The workshop can be facilitated online or in-person.
Worksheets with planning and reflection exercises
Brand Culture Advisor and Personal Branding for professionals author, speaker and workshop facilitator, Julissa Shrewsbury works with boards, organisations and teams at the level of Brand/Culture connection: She explores the clarity of a brand’s messages to internal and external audiences, and how well the brand is expressed through its people, at every level of the organisation.
In creating cultures of confident personal brands, Julissa’s method involves drawing out people’s key strengths and helping them communicate the value they bring to stakeholders, leading to stronger positioning, connection, confidence and visibility to reach individual and company KPIs. Her workshops cover analysis, strategy planning and skills development for boards, teams and individuals within organisations.

What organisations need to address in order to build trust Working long-term with professional services, where brand success is dependent on maintaining a high level of trust – but particularly since Covid – I’ve been deep-diving into how we build trust, influence and confidence in business. I’ve had some really interesting conversations with professional people […]
When I ask individuals across all levels of an organisation, ‘What does the company brand mean to you?’, they typically find it difficult to answer that question. An organisation’s brand is so much more than a logo or a website. In fact, your brand is most meaningfully communicated through your people. This is what I […]
“As Team Leader, what is my role during a facilitated workshop for my team?” You’ve booked a workshop with a topic expert because you feel your team needs to learn more about the topic and develop an appreciation for the importance of building related skills or creating change… and you want them to hear it […]
Since 2020 we have experienced lockdowns, venue restrictions and cuts to our regular networking event programs… and many are now finding that they prefer a hybrid or online-only approach to business and relationship development. Online networking activities can be shorter, more to-the-point and save lots of time and money otherwise spent attending in-person meetings and […]
