Is your workload stressing you out?
1) Set Goals Who do I want to meet? Why do I want to meet these people? Where will I meet these people?
2) Carry Business Cards at All Times Your cards should always be to hand everywhere.
3) Take Good Notes on Business Cards It's important to remember what has been said. Take notes on the back of business cards to remember your conversation when you follow up.
4) Be Genuine Always listen, giving eye contact, asking questions and not interrupting. Build trust and a good relationship, and don’t actively sell.
5) Offer to Help Others A networking must. Offer to share resources, make introductions, gather data and perform consulting. By extending yourself to others, you build a reputation as a giver rather than a taker.
6) Follow Up Follow up with people the next day so you're still fresh in their minds. If you offer to helpsomeone - no matter how big or small - you need to follow up.
7) Build Relationships You need to continue to build your relationship with people. By reaching out to them,you will come across as genuine and someone who values your relationships.
Final Thought By incorporating some or all of the above networking principles, you will be more prepared for events and a truly effective networker! Enjoy yourself and don't forget that networking is a continual process with each person you meet.

Research shows that it is critical to get young people thinking from an early age about what they want for their lives and help them to set goals. Setting goals increases resilience and helps children and young people:
• learn responsibility• learn how to break large tasks into manageable steps• believe in themselves and what they can achieve
To engage young people weincorporate street dance, rap, dramaand DJ workshops.
Carl Sandburg a famous poet once said “nothing happens unless first we dream”. Every new venture starts with a thought, a change of career, a new colour scheme in the kitchen or the decision to move to another city, everything we do starts with a simple thought.
Without a dream or at least taking time out to think about what we want we can drift into things, a job, debt, into a relationship or even a marriage and then wonder ‘what am I doing here?’ Someone once said we often spend more time planning a holiday then we do planning our lives.
“If you don’t know where you aregoing you will probably end upsomewhere else!”
Unique Education UK an Award winning Social Enterprise works with children and young people from 8 -19 years, helping them to believe in themselves and understand the importance of having personal vision or a dream for every area of their lives.
