* * FREE PROGRAM FOR ALUMNI MEMBERS; OPEN TO ALL FEI MEMBERS * * 


In a world defined by speed and scale, relationships—and advocacy—are both a blind spot and a

transformative opportunity for individuals and businesses.  


Do you know:

Who is important to your or your organisation's success, and why they matter?

What matters to them?

How to stay relevant and top of mind?


WE SPEND A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT TIME EQUIPPING OURSELVES TO ANSWER "WHAT DO I KNOW THAT COULD HELP?" WHEN IT COMES TO PROBLEM-SOLVING.


WHAT IF WE COULD ADD THE SAME (OR MORE) VALUE TO OUR ORGANISATIONS BY ASKING "WHO DO I KNOW WHO MIGHT HELP?" WHEN FACED WITH A PROBLEM.  ISN'T THAT WORTH INVESTING IN? 


This three-module program will equip you with the know-how and confidence to efficiently and effectively build and systematically maintain meaningful connections that add-value to you and the people around you.  Kwan's high-thought, low touch framework empowers you to build trust and influence with purpose. 


Join Jon Burgess, advocacy expert and founder of international management consultancy Kwan, to learn:

* Foundational behaviours that foster genuine connection and cohesive teamwork

* How to design a professional network based on mutual consideration and understanding

* How to foster cohesion and alignment among customers, employees and stakeholders, and create systems of collaboration

* How to use advocacy to empower teams and build loyalty, trust and impact

* How to embed advocacy into your or your organisation's operating rhythm -- to achieve the advantages at scale


Connected individuals and collaborative teams inspire confidence, drive engagement,

and cultivate a culture of cohesion - take advantage of FEI's partnership with Kwan to participate in this unique program that has been presented at Harvard Business School.
