Request SpeakerSpeaker Bio
Derek Coburn is a highly-sought keynote speaker and expert covering such topics as networking and communication. He is a best-selling author, consultant, media pundit, and thought-leader who has spoken at many conferences around the world where he gives leaders the skills they need to deal with fast, big changes in society, the workplace, and education.
Derek Coburn is hired to speak at events and conferences where he can give expertise on important global business affairs. He is a well-known influencer and networker. His book Networking Is NOT Working is the best-selling marketing book on Amazon. He helped start Cadre, a non-networking group in Washington, D.C., that helps more than one hundred CEOs and business executives right now.
Derek Coburn is one of the people who started Cadre, a company that brings together amazing people. Networking Isn’t Working: Stop Collecting Business Cards and Start Making Meaningful Connections is one of Derek’s books.
As the economy got worse, he had less time for “traditional networking” and had to focus more on his current clients. He started to try out his ideas, like getting his best clients and other top specialists together to form an informal “un-networking” club. In just 18 months, these strategies helped him make more money and make his life and work better.
In 1998, Derek Coburn started working as a financial counsellor. He quickly built a successful wealth management company that he still runs today. He did this in large part by working harder than his competitors.
To triple his income and improve the quality of his life and career, he started using unconventional networking strategies, such as putting together an informal networking club with his best clients and their top advisors.
Three years ago, he and his wife started the un-networking community Cadre, which now helps more than 100 CEOs and business leaders. They did this because they wanted to bring together exceptional professionals, which was something they were very passionate about. Baltimore is the most recent place where the company has grown.
Cadre was made so high-level professionals could meet quickly and easily and form meaningful relationships. The ultimate goal was for them to work together to promote each other while providing value to their current clients and network.
He learned much about what makes professional relationships better and what doesn’t. He is also willing to listen to other people’s ideas while he works on his own. Melanie Coburn, married to Derek Coburn, helped him start Cadre with him. Derek’s book, Networking Is Not Working, is promoted on Amazon as “Stop Collecting Business Cards and Start Making Meaningful Connections.” Here are some things you should know.
In the past few years, networking has turned into a never-ending series of events with open bars but no handshakes. After a long day at work, two strangers decide to meet up, swap business cards and unexpectedly talk about their products. The old ways of networking no longer work.
In the twenty-first century, successful business people think that big networking events and the piles of business cards they produce are a waste of time and valuable resources. Now, networking needs to be done in a new, modern way. This book gives you new, unusual, and useful ideas for building and maintaining a strong network. It came about because the author didn’t like wasting time attending formal networking events. These strategies can have a big effect on your business, and they helped Coburn’s sales grow by 300 percent in just 18 months.
