By reviewing the latest information, many of you are taking the first step towards learning more about networking tools and techniques.Remember the old saying, "It's not what you know, but who you know."

| |
| Let’s be real. With other pressures of life upon us, having to network can be a burden and increase stress levels.How we decide to spend valuable time networking will determine our direct success now and for the future. When in transition we often prioritize, placing business networking sandwiched between “I know I should to what for?” kinds of attitude.Many see the act of business networking as a waste of time, because the return on investment is not often immediate. In another sense, many professionals in transition make this an excellent opportunity to have “face time” with potential employers or perhaps receive viable leads.Here are several keys to help (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Talk Isn't Cheap |
| |
| The most successful organizations have good communication skills. Survey after survey bears this out. Poor communication skills are often cited in employee surveys as a reason for poor morale and performance.Having been in the business of building organizational communication skills for more than 25 years, I've seen firsthand the positive impact these skills can have upon a company. Speaking with respect and active listening are so important that I don't understand why more organizations don't teach these important skills. They can truly differentiate you from your competitors and give you a decided advantage in the marketplace.In a recent article in Chief Learning Officer, (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Building Great Business Relationships |
| |
| If you’re in a business relationship with anyone – a client, vendor, or customer – how important is that relationship to you? Do you value the relationship? Do you want to nurture it?A business relationship, like any relationship, is a two-way street. The expectations of both parties needs be clear and easily understandable. Applying the Golden Rule is also a good idea: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” That is a very powerful statement, and one I try to practice in my daily life, both in business and personal matters.Good communication is key for any business relationship to grow and thrive. Even when conflicts surface (and they will), kee (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Why Bother With Social Networking Sites Like LinkedIn? |
| |
| Q: I think I understand the value of networking as well as the next businessman, but
for the life of me, I don't really see what sites like LinkedIn, Ryze and Ecademy can
do for me. What's the point of these sites other than just as some sort of digital
popularity contest?A: My good friend and colleague Liz Ryan, head of the women's power networking
group WorldWIT, Women in Technology, has a great answer to this sort of question,
an answer that I'm quoting here with permission:I ask people to join LinkedIn, and often they say "I don't want the spam." So I say
"You won't get any spam." And they say "But I'm not job-hunting." And I say "You
don't have to be job-hunting. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Lesson 14 - What's In A Handshake? |
| |
| The StoryAs a child growing up, one of the many life lessons instilled in me was to wash your hands before eating and after using the restroom. As a child I often played in the dirt and places where germs customarily manifested. Another lesson I learned growing up was when introduced to new acquaintances always shake their hands. It is said to be a polite thing to do, and demonstrates a sign of friendly reception.I can’t remember the first time I shook someone’s hand, but as an adult I have learned the different handshakes I detest and those I most appreciate. It is frequently said that the handshake is a window into the personality. For example, on the phenomenal telev (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are You Sitting With The Right Company? |
| |
| When I walked into Dallas’s famous Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse, all I wanted to do was to enjoy my New York Strip steak, relax and quietly review my notes for the following day’s speech. Little did I know that a valuable business lesson awaited me at the table.The only other customer in the bar was a guy sitting in the corner pounding away on his laptop. He didn’t look up when I walked in. The bartender on the other hand noticed my nametag when I arrived and yelled, “Hey Scott! Grab a stool and have a drink!”I walked over as he flung a coaster down and said, “What’ll you have?”“Actually,” I said, looking at that man in corner, “I have some work to (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are You Leveraging Your Business Network? |
| |
| Just yesterday I received an email from a colleague telling me her husband had been laid off from yet another corporate job. Will the downsizing ever stop? I doubt it. Most large corporations focus purely on the bottom line and employees are the biggest expense.And sadly, many workers become lax at maintaining their professional network when they've worked with a company a while. With mass layoff announcements screaming at us every day in the news, having a dead or outdated business network can extend the time it takes to find a new position. And what about new grads? Without a business network, what is their hope of finding that prized position?It's common knowledge that ma (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Networking: Breaking into the Buzz |
| |
| Breaking into conversational groups is one of the things people ask me about when I'm conducting networking sessions. There's a buzz that hovers over a crowded room that comes from all those people conversing. You need to break into that buzz to be a great networker.Let's face it, looking at a room full of people you don't know can be intimidating. At
first glance, it appears everyone knows everyone else — except you! The first thing
you need to remember is that this is not true. The only difference between you and
all those others is that they have been in the room five minutes longer than you
have. They have had an opportunity to begin a conversation with at least one
