Kingsley Aikens believes strongly in the power of networking, something he had to focus on especially when moving to live in new countries where he knew nobody on arrival. He found that networking was not just the 'glue' that made everything happen but was an essential key to 'survive and thrive' in challenging times and diverse locations. As CEO of The Networking Institute, Kingsley's mission is to guide individuals and companies on how to become better networkers by providing them with the motivation, skills, tools, and tips that will help them be more successful. Through compelling presentations, workshops, and masterclasses, he delivers training in networking, philanthropy/fundraising, public speaking, and diaspora engagement. He believes that 'life is a game of inches' and small improvements in networking can have very significant impacts. One conversation or one introduction can change your life.
