A friend of mine who works at a major financial firm once asked me to be a speaker for the firm’s women’s group.

We’re not doing it.” To her the word Likability was too soft, and the engagement was cancelled. Ever […]

Especially descriptive, situational questions with a comedic flare like this gem from a female executive: “I have started a new job in a senior position in a brand new start-from-scratch business and have other executives, who are not in my direct business unit, who have said on […]

My First Big Think Video Is Live!
Sometimes results can come in surprising ways. Though I venture to guess, if you think about the good things that just seem to happen, you can likely trace it back to making a connection. I challenge you to take the time to trace it back and see who you have to thank for something good […]

A “surprising yet not” thing happened to me and it epitomizes what I am explaining in the book… that connectors make things happen easier, faster and often better as a result of their relationships.

I love when I get questions from my readers. This is a reply I received to one of my recent newsletters: “I always plan to network more but the opportunities do not present themselves very often and when they do I am usually busy “on the job” or with family activities. Can you have a theme on […]
