I have participated in a myriad of courses with similar themes, and have always felt that it was with limited success. A person whom I respect told me to try Network Academy seminar. I did, and the very fact that I have sent three of my staff along the same way, proves I was very pleasantly surprised by the form, content and yield. I can highly recommend to spend time at Network Academy

Most people know that a strong network can be valuable in relation to their work, career and private life. And there are almost as many who either could get significantly more out of their networks, or who perhaps do not know how to get started. But it need not be difficult. Network Academy gives you simple ground rules and effective tools and not at least set goals for your network. The seminar is very inspiring, and the emphasis on practical exercises are based on one's own situation. You immediately begin to improve your network activities, and it becomes very easy to follow and practice in his everyday life.

The best results are achieved through innovative thinking and personal relationships, and through the composition of the "right people". It requires conscious work and maintenance of relationships - networking.

Network Academy illustrates the importance of the cultivation and care of its network.

Networking requires effort and thus should be regarded as a task and a conscious process. Teaching practice contributes with concrete tools and the mindset necessary to precisely understand and treat networking as a prerequisite to have wide access to resources and inspiration.

A day of networking in the company of Mark Patterson and Network Academy can not help but alter your views on the possibilities in your own network. And even change it when you see it with completely new eyes.

When you talk network - and the more active networking - so one thinks immediately of an "extra" activity - something that takes time and extra effort. Something we all agree is important, but rarely come to anything in reality. Precisely because it is indeed something "extra."

After a day in the company of Network Academy, you realize how wrong the thinking is.

And how much you have to win by putting network - and networking - in the center of his daily activities. Without knowing the reason becomes less effective. Rather the contrary.

Mark manages through his interesting, well-established and while entertaining speech to open participants' eyes to the strengths and weaknesses and opportunities within their own networks. And practical exercises quickly reveals where you can take action so you can become a better network.

There are a lot of insight to take home. Insights that can be directly translated into daily, good networking habits.

You come home with a whole new perspective on your network, how it can be used and how to effectively develop it if you put just a little bit odd.

Per Junker Thiesgaard

We have recognized that strategic networking is one of the most effective ways to grow a business. Networking allows for example. sales process entirely new dimensions, and when we live by to know what is happening in our key markets, the network is the way to get important information about new business and leads on. And we want to be ahead of our competitors. Network Academy has given us inspiration, knowledge and practical tools, but above all wanted to work with the huge development potential of strategic networking.

The course at Network Academy is a guided tour of the network's wondrous world.

The course gave me insight into my network emerging, composition and defects. At the same time I got tangible tools that when used during the course gave me insight into how my network could be expanded and how in the future I could improve my network and build the "real" network. Using the network has not before been a thing I have grown, but after the course I have been waking up to the big world that lies on our feet and I might as well can take advantage of. There is no doubt that the course gave me insight into a world which was not very familiar to me beforehand and which I will in future devote more time to grow. A super program with good points, tasks, and plenty of food for thought.
