Because skills alone are not enough. Networking solves problems that no CV or cover letter can fix:
You discover job opportunities that are never posted online.
Your application does not disappear into a black hole, because someone refers you.
You get clarity about career paths beyond the lab or outside your current company.
You understand what skills are actually valued in industry.
You avoid jobs with the wrong culture by talking to insiders first.
You are not isolated — you have a network that brings support, collaborations, and security.
Stop just collecting contacts. Start creating opportunities and visibility for yourself.
Technical professionals and scientists in academia or industry.
Those who keep hearing that “networking is the key” but do not know where to start.
Professionals unsure how to reach out to people or what to say.
Introverts looking for networking methods that feel natural.
Individuals with a LinkedIn profile who want to use it more effectively.
Important: If you have signs of chronic fatigue or burnout, this may not be the best time to participate, as the workshop will require active self-reflection and a willingness to try new things.
A personalized networking strategy tailored to your career goal.
Clarity on which profiles and roles are most relevant for your job search.
Skills to write effective cold messages on LinkedIn when you see an open position.
Ready-to-use scripts for informational interviews and curated questions for different situations.
An understanding of best networking practices for building meaningful professional relationships.
Your first practical steps toward expanding your professional network.
We work in a small group (up to 10 participants) in an interactive format — not a lecture. You will be actively participating with your camera and microphone on, collaborating with others, and building your networking plan during the session.

Probably the coolest realization during the group session was that I am not alone.
It always seemed that group coaching is significantly less effective than individual coaching, but there are a huge number of opportunities in group coaching that you can't find in individual meetings. During group meetings you get more support, the feeling that you are not alone, due to the fact that several other people are working through the same problem together with you, you can find more new approaches to solving it.
My self-esteem has grown. Communication with people became easier and clearer.
It is now three months after the last session and I have already completed 40% of my first year plan! I can see that I'm moving in the right direction and I'm fully motivated. Yeeeee! In those three months, I took responsibility for two projects and delegated some routine tasks. My salary increased by 10%, I was recognized as a valuable employee and offered a contract extension. I also learned how to translate conflicts into constructive discussions.
It was very calming to just discuss what scares you and realize that it's normal and can be worked with. It has become easier to plan big, ambitious goals.
I really enjoy coaching and like Evgeniya's approach - lots of questions, a structured approach to the session, bringing reflection back to the client, and reminding them of important thoughts spoken during the session. It was easy for me to brainstorm, and I felt heard and surrounded by support.
It was especially valuable for me to work in a group. From the outside, discussing with each other (other participants' situations) opens your eyes to yourself even more!
Thanks to Evgeniya for creating an atmosphere where it was comfortable to share thoughts, have a discussion ❤️
