Networking Training by Juan Maldonado Alcazar

If you heard the useless “Just network more” advice, you probably understand it’s unhelpful because nobody tells you what to actually do differently.

Juan M. Alcazar starts from the fundamentals, like Mr. Miyagi: he never let Daniel-san throw a punch until he’d spent weeks waxing cars, motions that felt pointless until his hands moved before his brain caught up.

Networking works the same way, and Juan breaks it into pieces you can practice now, starting with the counterintuitive rule to stop keeping score of favors, how to become a great conversationalist in a few minutes, and becoming genuinely likable because of who you are and not because of a performance.

We will turn these insights into an actual strategy, including which events matter after your MSc and who most recruiters walk straight past. Juan has taught this across multiple countries, and unlocking millions of euros in value by finding people that could benefit from each other.

Besides his work at InnoEnergy changing Europe’s energy landscape, he is directing the Road to the C-Suite Program, where executives use some of these skills to get promoted faster.
