In today's fast-paced digital world, where algorithms and AI often craft superficial connections, the enduring question persists: Does the art of networking still hold its weight in fostering genuine business relationships?

Join me for an enlightening discussion with Laura Bruzulier, affectionately known as The Networking Ninja, as we explore the timeless importance of networking in contemporary business landscapes. Together, we unravel the layers of effective networking, offering actionable insights to amplify your networking endeavours and reshape your perspective towards forging meaningful connections.

From deciphering the nuances of initiating conversations to gracefully navigating through uncomfortable interactions, we leave no stone unturned in our exploration of business networking. Whether it's cultivating partnerships between enterprises or fostering rapport with consumers, the cornerstone of successful business development lies in the ability to cultivate authentic connections. As the age-old adage goes, 'people buy from people,' emphasising the pivotal role of human interaction in driving business growth. By mastering the intricacies of networking, you unlock a powerful tool for propelling your business forward.

Moreover, in an era where digital interactions often dominate, the value of face-to-face networking experiences cannot be overstated. Beyond the confines of virtual communication, in-person networking opportunities offer a unique platform for building trust, fostering empathy, and establishing lasting connections that transcend the digital realm.

Furthermore, by embracing a proactive approach to networking, entrepreneurs can unlock a myriad of opportunities for professional growth and expansion. Whether it's attending industry events, joining networking groups, or leveraging social media platforms strategically, the possibilities for forging meaningful connections are endless. By cultivating a robust network of contacts, entrepreneurs not only expand their sphere of influence but also gain access to valuable resources, insights, and collaborations that can drive their business to new heights.

The Hereford and Worcester Chamber of Commerce Business EXPO is happening once again at the Three Counties Ground this 7th March with over 120 exhibitors sharing their services and skills with the local business community.

It is an ideal place to network and check out services which could be relevant to your business or future plans. With seminars and specialist Health, Food and Networking zones your time there will fly by. It is well worth attending if you can make it.

Parking is free and right next door to the exhibiton hall.

However if you can’t make, I will be there broadcasting a livestream taking in the atmosphere and engaging with many exhibitors, finding out more about thier business and what they can offer in the three counties.

The Livestream starts at 9am. If you wish to ask questions during the stream of any exhibitor please use the YouTube chat facility.

29/02/2024

Just a few days left now before I undertake the first Livestream from the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce EXPO at the Three Counties Ground in Malvern.

Like buses, which all come along at once, Will Hopkins from Moonrise Media is also attending and will be live streaming from his stand in the hall along with 120 other delegates.

However I will be mobile talking with numerous exhibitors, large and small sharing their ‘what’ and ‘why’ which could be useful to the local business community.

The stream will be live on YouTube, Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter.

If you can’t make it to the Expo, then tune in and you’ll witness all the atmosphere plus maybe pick up a few contacts of interest.

I’m really looking forward to it. My next stream after this will be at The Outdoor Expo at the NEC, so something local and easier to get around is ideal.

The stream will be going live at 9, so grab a coffee and stay tuned. Or if you are local drop by the Three Counties Ground, free parking, free entry and there’s even free tea and coffee.

This is the first in a new series of video podcasts aimed at asking the question of local experts if their particular skill/service/talent makes a ‘real’ different to their clients.

I’m not really looking for stories where the answer is purely financial. I’m more interested about the emotional, inspiring or developing impact they have on their clients that makes them realise why they love their work.

Although I am intending to keep this local to Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester I did start posting about this in an international Livestreaming forum and Kelvin from the Two Monkeys Agency in Perth Australia was one of many who replied.

When I was working in Australia years ago the one thing that struck me most of all was their willingness to give things a try. If you could prove you could do a job, they hired you. It was that simple. So it is no surprise they have taken to streaming in a big way.

So I hope you enjoy this insight into Kelvin and his business and the impact he is having in the world of education, sports and commerce.

If you happen to be in Perth or need a live streaming service there you can find him at twomonkeysagency.com or you can find him on Linkedin here linkedin.com/in/mediathatbuildsbrandloyalty.

Thanks for your time Kelvin and enjoy streaming your Pickleball!

The new studio layout for the Video Podcast interview series 'Does it make a difference?" is coming along very nicely.

Just starting on the programming, graphics and animations and we should be good to go shortly.

I visited another networking gathering this morning at BIPC Worcestershire and was once again reminded there are many people locally with great specialist knowledge, they are willing to share.

Like everyone who has returned from the National Running Show I've been reflecting on the brilliant atmosphere, the crowds and the interviews I did for the Live Stream from the event on Sunday morning.

Someone said, it isn't an event, it's a community. Well put, after all it is just putting one foot in front of another with friends.

It was a privilege to be one of the media partners so thanks to Nathalie Davies , Hannah Hopwood and all the team for creating something positive in this current dreary world full of negativity.

Thanks must also go to my team member Jesse Gillgrass in the Live Stream control room some 15 miles away, pulling it all together as I transmitted from my compact Outside Broadcast kit to the studio for a bit of polish, before sending it out to 5 different social media channels. A delay of only 5 seconds from the NEC exhibition floor to the world!

We even had comments coming from viewers in real time which in future will be questions directly for the exhibitors, opening up all kinds of doors for promotions and additional sales.

This was a soft launch of our Live Stream small footprint service as we were testing the technology ready for forthcoming exhibitions at the NEC and other locations around the South Midlands this Spring and Summer.

All the individual clips have now been compiled and sent to the respective contributors inov-8, JVC, HOKA, Nicky Chrascina, Charles Sproson, Rachel Heley, b***y Petzl plus a few more.

See you at the next event.

So this Sunday sees the return of the The Outdoors Station at the National Running Show for a Live Stream talking with brands large and small getting their latest news, products, deals and interviews.

This is the first in a series of outdoor related events and I am slowly getting back into the media saddle for more podcasts, videos and live streams talking with people who have a passion for the outdoors and of course looking at their stories, products and services.

Social media has evolved and changed in the last few years and I have been watching from the wings to see the direction it takes. I’ll still be undertaking projects which are close to my heart, however I will be including new aspects for variety.

Please support me by tuning in this Sunday at 9am over your tea and crumpets. Positive comments will welcomed on the stream.

Just follow the link in the bio and click the Notify me button for your early morning call.
