“It’s theatre. You are in the wings, you’re standing on the side of the stage and you are about to enter stage left and you need to make an impact” Welcome back to Exeter Real - A brand new vodcast featuring the tools, tricks and stories from our greatest entrepreneurs, business leaders, adventures and elite athletes, from right here in the city and across the globe. Delving deep into their growth mindset we aim, through the art of great conversation, to find out just exactly what it takes to thrive in a world full of both challenge and opportunity. Have you ever wandered into a room full of strangers or, worse, a room full of familiar faces, but felt completely out of place; awkward even? Well here’s the thing; you’re not alone, no matter your status. The majority of us, at some point, will face that moment when quite honestly, we’d rather be facing polar bears & lions, than introducing ourselves at a networking event. Episode #5 of Exeter Real, the final of 2018, sees our host Tracey Duke in conversation with John Harvey, the founder of the Samphire Club; the South West’s premier private networking club, whose members comprise of the regions leading decision makers and company directors. Known as the ‘master of networking’, John Harvey has firmly established himself as a leading expert in the field of networking; famously instigating some of the regions most productive partnerships. During this 40 minute interview we delve deep into the art of great conversation and discuss the do’s and dont’s of powerful, purposeful, networking, working the room with grace & charisma.
