Cathy Delhanty

In 2016, Cathy Delhanty launched a new phase of her career as a professional speaker. She spent most of her career as an international business consultant, specializing in business development and growth in international telecommunications and aerospace. After years of honing advanced networking techniques as key a business advantage and watching others struggle with business networking, she has developed a networking process called The Networking Workshop.

Through The Networking Workshops, Cathy is lecturing at top universities, major corporations, and business incubators, across Europe. This will be a busy year for The Networking Workshop with lectures scheduled in Greece, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, and The Netherlands. To bring knowledge to the industry, The Networking Workshop and The Hague University of Applied Science are conducting a primary research project into the effectiveness of business networking training in business incubators.

Expecting to achieve Distinguished Toastmaster status at the end of this Toastmaster’s year, Cathy is the Area Director for District 59 C5. Concurrently, she is working on the Toastmasters Professional Speaker Accreditation. Cathy has a degree in Economics from the University of Western Ontario, Canada and a Graduate Diploma in Business and Technology from the University of New South Wales, Australia. Living in The Netherlands with her husband and two daughters, she volunteers at UNICEF and knits scarves for homeless people in her spare time.

The Networking MasterClass combines experience and know-how with university research to teach you to network with confidence and achieve your goals.
