Still have questions?

We have answers.
  • I am an introvert, is this the course for me? I do not like networking.

    When we developed this course, we kept YOU top of mind as we know networking isn't an introvert's happy place. Our overall concept of Positive Networking® will take the pressure off networking situations, and we give you specific strategies to help you become a confident and effective networker.

  • How long does this course take?

    We developed this course based on our very popular full-day workshop.This online course has some additional content and it's approximately five hours of learning. We've broken it up into bite-size pieces so you can do it at your own pace.

  • Is there really five hours worth of content--it's just networking!

    We've often heard this from participants after our workshop. They hadn't thought that the networking training would be that thorough! They didn’t just learn to 'work the room', but also learned relationship-building soft skills they’d never been taught before.

  • I am working from home so does this course really apply to my situation?

    Yes, probably it is most important for you. There is a sense of isolation when you work from home and you need to figure out ways to get out and network, as well as use all the tools, apps, and opportunities to virtually network with your teams and company.

  • What if I am not happy with this course?

    We don't want you to be unhappy! And we are so sure that this course will allow you to network with confidence that we offer a 100% money back guarantee within 30 days of your purchase.
