As part of the Dynamic Business "Let's Talk" series, Sierra Legal Special Counsel Jenny Lau shares her thoughts on the importance of 'face-to-face' networking:

"In this digital age, a lot of our relationships can be managed through a screen (think social media, email and Skype).

For this reason, I think face-to-face business networking is extremely important. Face-to-face meetings can humanise the business relationship. There is so much information to be gained about a person, their personal and business preferences, and their challenges from their facial expressions and body language. Similarly, I can show understanding, appreciation and compassion much better face-to-face. This can help me to build rapport and trust, which is very important in our role as trusted legal advisers. I’m no longer just some advice on a screen, I’m a person with whom you can confide/consult and collaborate."
