I gave another presentation on Networking this past Tuesday to roughly 70 non-profit leaders at the monthly Parasol Community Collaboration meeting. I was supposed to give a 40-minute presentation, but speaking to the captivated audience lasted one hour.
I wanted to focus on face-to-face (or traditional) networking, because I believe we, as non-profit leaders, are spending more time in our offices than out making connections and sharing our message. Case in point, the vast majority of those in the Parasol audience “network” at similar, non-profit-based activities, where they “connect” with NPO leaders and not nearby professional, philanthropic and social leaders.
Though I’m not a big fan of Powerpoint, I used it to aid my presentation. Reason being, is that I spent some time on social media. This ever-growing networking opportunity has progressed since my February presentation to another group of non-profit leaders. The file is attached to this blog if you want to download the powerpoint presentation. If you can’t find nor open it, email me and I’ll send one directly to you.
