Over the years, there have been countless books written on the subject. So many of them have proven to be quite valuable in my journey. I wrote this book to help convey real world examples of networking. Many will read this book for business advice and my hope is that it will also help to highlight new ideas.
While the term is outdated, the results are the same. It's a skill set not taught in business school, and a topic many of us "hear about" by chance. It's complicated for many, uncomfortable for most, and something all of us need more work on.
Networking is part of our life. It drives our business success. It helps us build circles of friendships. It's the key to finding a job. It's useful when you want to know where to travel, what doctor to use, and how to get things done.
Fueled by over 25 years of experience in the industry, thousands of conversations, and hundreds of hosted events, the book contains stories from over 70 executives in twenty countries. Relationships born from chance, others carefully curated with years of effort. Our youngest is an 18-yr old ParaOlympic competitor. Our most "seasoned" just turned 75, with a rich history in Civil Rights.
