You're Invited to The Value of Networking: Leveraging the Currencies of Connection
An interactive workshop hosted by Lisbon Business Leaders in partnership ValueFlow
Join us for a powerful networking workshop and experience that will shift the way you think about relationships, influence, and success and change how you network forever!
Whether you're a seasoned leader or just starting out, this workshop will challenge and inspire you to sharpen your networking skills and create meaningful, results-driven connections.
Overview:
As business leaders, we often view networking as a means to access opportunities, resources, and support that help drive our mission or business forward. We connect with others to seek investments, partnerships, referrals, or valuable insights that can accelerate our growth.
Effective networking isn’t just about asking what we “do” - it’s about recognizing the different currencies we have at our disposal to network with and true networking is a two-way street, where the most impactful leaders understand how to both give and receive value, fostering relationships that create long-term success.
The most successful leaders understand the different currencies of networking which they can ask for and offer, and surprisingly it's not related to money or sales.
What you can expect:
In this engaging and interactive networking experience, you’ll discover how to build meaningful relationships by understanding and leveraging the different currencies of exchange.
🔹 Strengthen Your Leadership & Influence – Learn how to navigate and lead conversations that create real opportunities, just as a strong network amplifies your business impact.
🔹 Unlock the True Value of Networking – Explore how to offer and receive different forms of value - beyond financial investments - to build high-impact connections.
🔹 Connect with Growth-Minded Leaders – Engage with a dynamic community of business professionals who understand that success is built on relationships, not just transactions.
