DIA 2017 Annual Meeting

Component Type: Workshop
Level: Basic
CE: IACET 1.25

Even if your job rarely requires you to interact outside your company, you still need to know how to network. This is called internal networking. Internal networking is when you reach out to colleagues within your organization, even if your job doesn’t require you to do so. It’s going beyond your normal scope of job responsibilities. Networking internally means you are looking outside your immediate, day-to-day activities and thinking about how you can connect with and create value for others in your company. While many of the same principles apply for external and internal networking there is a nuance to internal networking that is unique. These differences will be explained. There will be discussion of personality types and how that impacts networking. There will also be a portion of the workshop dedicated to practicing networking.

Learning Objectives

Recognize the importance of networking within your company as a part of career management; differentiate personality types and identify how these preferences affect networking; Apply tools to facilitate productive working relationships and career success.
