Networking can feel awkward and phony, but it doesn't have to be that way. This course can help you approach people and make genuine connections for life using your own style and interests. Too many people associate "networking" with a job hunt, when they are feeling most vulnerable, and even under time pressure, to somehow meet and become BFFs with that one magical person who can open all the doors and usher them into a perfect new job. Wouldn't that be great? But it doesn't work that way. Job hunting — and really any quest for useful information to open your mind to new possibilities — is more like a scavenger hunt. You have adventures and meet people along the way who provide clues and rewards, and help you shape your ideas. With their help and your curiosity and energy, you get where you need to be. Another key to making good connections is understanding that this is a lifelong activity. None of us will have one employer or one job. The average worker today may hold a dozen jobs over his or her professional life. And the people you meet where you're working now, the people you went to school with, people you've met through co-workers or friends, at conferences or alumni gatherings — these are the people who become your network for years to come. And here's some good news: you don't have to meet everyone in the room. You don't have to spend time with everyone you've ever met in passing, let alone stay in touch with them all. You'll naturally gravitate to some people because they're kind, funny, thoughtful, or memorable in some way that connects with you. These are the ones who form your network. Your brain trust. And the key to building a network for life is really about keeping in touch those people. It's never been important than it is today, when we change jobs, locations, and even fields throughout our working lives. I have worked for tech companies in Silicon Valley for 30 years, as a writer, editor, and communications pro. Since the tech world is so fluid, I've held many jobs and met many people. It's the norm in tech to move around — and to stay in what I call "loose touch" with others, who are also moving jobs and reinventing themselves, as I have done. And this is a reason why, even though I'm introvert (who can't wait to get home and have quiet time to process the day), I enjoy a wide-ranging network of allies and friends across industries, roles and locations. Over the years people have introduced others to me for career advice, or guidance on working in technology, saying that I "know everybody." It's true I know a lot of people, but even more than that, I keep in touch, often simply through our LinkedIn connection or whatever channels we're on together. And I'm always open to meeting others when an opportunity arises. In fact, lots of us know lots of people, at least casually. The real secret is paying attention in the moment, and keeping in touch informally and occasionally, so that when you have a question or a quest you can reach out to someone in your web of contacts without fear or anxiety. And you, in turn, can offer that support and guidance to someone else when they ask. This course offers both practical how-to's and a touch of philosophy: there are specific tasks and steps to take to meet and stay in touch with people; and it really helps to be open and curious when you meet someone new. In this course, you'll: Discover why it's beneficial to make and keep connections throughout your working life Cultivate an authentic web of connections with people you like Identify online tools that make it easy to be in touch with many people virtually Determine how to network at your current job Recognize the importance of keeping track and keeping in touch I'll hope you'll join me in uncovering, and discovering, a better way to make and keep authentic connections with people.

In order to be prepared, one must seek preparation. Burns, bleeds, accidents, concussions, etc. They happen. Knowing what to do around a victim or loved one may be the difference between permanent injury and the lack thereof. Doing something is always better than doing nothing. Panicking will make things worse. Having watched this course will allow you to feel more comfortable about several phobias you may have. What if I get bit by a snake? What secrets are there to stop a bleed? It very may well be the best investment you make to someone that may need it. The course was designed to be a building block for furthering your knowledge. For example, it will make it easy to understand how to deal with someone that has been knocked out; however it is not for the emergency physician or neurologist that will be conducting the neural exam. It will make sense of why we need to oxygenate a patient, not the exact rules and numbers that you are encouraged to learn in other courses.

**During the Covid pandemic festival attendance has changed, but the concepts taught in this course can still apply. It is just as important as ever to be ready to interact with others in the industry and to have an organized method of maintaining contacts, which are the key elements in this course. I have decided to offer it for free during this time so you'll be ready to go when we're back at the festivals again.** If you're a filmmaker or screenwriter, you’ve probably gone to a film festival or a writer’s conference with the hopes of making an important connection. If you’ve ever come home with a stack of business cards that sat accusingly on your desk until you just gave up and stuck them in a drawer or worse, threw them out because you didn’t know what to do with them, then this course is for you. Everyone knows the film industry is all about who you know. However, if you’re like most writers you would not say that networking is your strength, and you may even feel uncomfortable or fake about it. So many of us are introverts and much prefer to hide at our desks writing than socialize with people, especially if we’re supposed to “network”. To me networking is as simple as going somewhere to connect with other people in the industry and putting in a little extra work to maintain those connections in a way that feels authentic and is mutually beneficial. I built my entire business on word of mouth referrals and I want to teach you how to do the same for your screenwriting career. By the end of this course you will: Know what and who you should research before you get to the event What tools will make networking easier for you What things you should have ready to take with you Have a working contact management system set up, ready for you to use at your next event have a technique for contacting anyone about 1-on-1 time during the conference feel more confident reaching out to industry connections understand how to keep in touch consistently so you can strengthen your industry network I’m going to keep things simple and teach you the basics of collecting and managing contact information so you can build relationships over time. I’m not going to teach you gimmicks or how to spam and annoy people. I’m going to give you a simple system to follow so that you can make the most of events you attend and make it easier for you to keep in touch with the people you meet. If you set up and use this system for your next festival or conference you will set yourself apart from the majority of other attendees, paving the way for you to stand out in a sea of writers. If you would like to become a better networker, get more out of the events you attend, and learn skills that will grow alongside your career... Enroll today!
