Overview
Strong professional relationships underpin most of the challenges facing individuals and businesses today. Whatever you are trying to achieve, in most cases other people can help you. But knowing the right people and having deep enough relationships with them can be the difference between success and failure.
Individuals, teams and organisations can develop strong professional relationships for lead generation, to break down internal silos, stimulate innovation, gain promotion, influence key decision makers, recruit and retain top staff, and develop future leaders.
In short, Andy Lopata will help you develop a professional relationships strategy that generates tangible benefits for your needs.
His insights can be delivered in whichever way suits you. To find out more, please select the appropriate tab.
Keynote talks
You can book Andy to deliver a keynote talk that helps people develop their networking strategy.
Although he varies the content every time, according to your audience, here are some of his most popular talk titles, to give you an idea of how he can help:
- Just One Reason – The Power of Professional Relationships
- Connected Leadership
- Just Ask – How Vulnerability Can be your Biggest Strength
Small groups
Whether working with a small group on an ongoing basis, or through individual one-to-one sessions, Andy will guide and mentor participants to devise their own tailored professional relationships strategy that will really get results.
Andy specialises in working with leaders and aspiring leaders to explore how their professional relationships impact on their responsibilities, role and career development.
With time, project, staffing, budgetary and other pressures all lining up for executives’ attention, little room is left for developing the professional relationships that underpin both career and business success. The lack of focus on relationships leaves a lack of support, intelligence, profile and advocacy that help to ease those pressures.
In a rapidly changing business environment, with technological and political shifts having a huge impact on a range of industries worldwide, strong and diverse professional relationships are more important than ever before. Look at most of the challenges facing leaders today, from managing change, driving growth, leading diverse teams and more, and you will see strong professional relationships underpinning successful resolution.
But where do you start and how can you focus your activity in the most effective way possible?
Areas explored can include:
- Personal profile within your industry or organisation
- How you use social media sites to the best effect
- Encouraging strong relationship development across your team and with external stakeholders
- How to influence key decision makers in your organisation, across your industry and in client teams
- How to you manage and nurture existing relationships when you are busy?
