  How to Succeed in Networking
by Louise Garver - Jun, 2013
Focus on giving. I realize that when an executive networks, they want something. So why do I start this blog out with “giving?” It is kind of like the “pay it forward” concept.

Most people don’t care about what you want or need. Yes, t...

by Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter - May, 2013
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” This Shakespearean quote resonates as I ponder the value of networking. If only networking were under the guise of a different name.

I use the term, because of its universal appeal, but sparingly, as I believe there are better ways to articulate how to forge,...
