About the book, The Power of Everyday Networking
The Power of Everyday Networking will show you a networking
approach that is authentic to who you are and teach you how you can make real, everyday connections with others. It is based on my twenty-plus year adventure that has taken me to college campuses, corporate headquarters, coffee shops, and conference centers. It has given me an opportunity to work closely with a wide range of clients: recent college and MBA graduates, mid-career senior executives, on-boarding professional, and pre-retirees. Each of them was launching, building, restarting, or redirecting his or her work life. Working with these people has allowed me to collect the best practices and principles of networking and develop an educational, easy to read, and jam-packed advice book for people who understand the importance of networking, yet want to stop relying on old-school techniques and tricks.
The Power of Everyday Networking shows you a networking approach you can and will do every day. It will become a resource that you will return to again and again throughout all of your career’s twists, turns, and transitions.
“A quick and fun book to read-and the true stories bring it all to life.”
“Read it over the weekend and found it succinctly reinforced many networking ideas that I need to better instill in my day to day life.”
“I found it personally helpful and recognized things I do well and naturally and others that I clearly don’t.”
“I can easily say this is one of the best written, no nonsense, ‘do-it’ I’ve ever experienced.”
