Presentation Overview
Technology is changing at such a rapid pace that it's almost impossible for each of us to keep on top of every new development. Cyber security is arguably one of the fastest growing and fastest changing IT disciplines. One of the best ways to keep on top of the changes is to build a group of trusted colleagues with diverse backgrounds who can provide valuable information and to whom you can also be a resource. There's just one problem - to build that group of trusted advisors, you first need to meet them and build a relationship. The first step in that process is to get out there and network. Learn how to overcome your objections to networking and make new connections with Speaker, Workshop Leader and Life & Career Transitions Coach Sue Maitland PCC. ISACA lunches and industry conferences provide golden opportunities to meet people who would be valuable additions to your network. Sue overcame her dislike of networking when, after 20+ years in IT, she started her own coaching practice. Now she helps others sharpen their networking skills to enhance both their personal & professional lives. This talk can transform your view of networking and open new possibilities for your career growth when you take what you learn and put it into action.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the true nature and value of networking
- Know where to network
- Design an effective answer to the question ‘What do you do?”
