"Who is Jan Vermeiren?" you might ask. "And what does he have to do with networking?"
Well, Jan is the founder of Networking Coach and expert in (human) networking and author of Let's Connect and How to REALLY use LinkedIn. Together with his team Jan not only provides (key note) presentations, training courses and personal coaching, but also advices organisations how to stimulate networking at their own events and how to integrate networking in their sales and recruitment strategy.
Visit the website www.networking-coach.com for the details about the programs and a free networking course.
Back to Jan. After a career in the IT world, he founded the company Step by Step Consulting. Originally especially focused on marketing coaching, the company has - due to greater demand from the marketplace - evolved to everything that has to do with (human) networking.
Why focus on Networking?
Jan noticed in his professional career and in his private life that lots of people are looking for ways to become more successful (you can fill in what "success” means for you, in your situation).
Most people and organisations look right over what’s lying right there under their noses: the networks they already belong to. Instead they look around for expensive and complex solutions. Just by paying attention to these networks, by mapping them and then taking action, every individual and every organisation can make big leaps forward.
When you hear Jan talking or read his book, blogs, e-course or articles, you will never find difficult solutions or complex theories. Only very practical and down-to-earth tips and advice.
So, networking can be easy and fun!
