Marketing Humber’s Young Talent Network delivered a personal development opportunity on Thursday 9^th June – Making Good Connections for Career Success.

A full house was welcomed to the event, hosted by Ruby Melling, Talent Strategy Consultant, Inclusively Tech, and Community Engagement Associate, Manchester Tech Festival.

The event offered invaluable insights into how to get out there and network fearlessly, including how to approach new conversations, and how to get the most out of them. Ruby explained how, with self-confidence at the forefront, it really is possible to make the connections you need and develop your career in ways you may not have thought possible. Ruby shared her personal experiences of how developing and expanding your network is one of the keys to unlocking new opportunities – with the message that things will only change if you have the courage to let them.

Attendees heard how to build good connections both in person and online, and Ruby explained why forming new and strengthening existing relationships has huge potential to make a considerable, positive difference to yourself and your career development.

Ruby outlined, step by step, how it is possible to make the most of all opportunities to meet, connect and have a lasting impact. It was fantastic to see the effect Ruby’s advice had on attendees, as the session was followed by an energetic room full of conversation, with the opportunity to network with others and spark new ideas.
