(KI-generiert) Heute habe ich in einem Unternehmen das reflektierende Abschlusstraining einer Business Networking Trainingsreihe gegeben. Ein Teilnehmer berichtete dabei, dass er in den letzten Wochen zu wenig zum Netzwerken gekommen ist, weil so viel zu tun war und fragte nach Rat, wie er das in Zukunft besser hinbekommt. Diese Situation ist ehrlich. Und sie ist absolut typisch.
