Come to find out there was someone that tried to call me from the last public speaking engagement I had.
That was two weeks ago, and I got the message this morning.
I could have blamed my lack of response on technology or any number of things. But instead, I told the truth – I forgot […]
If you’re a networking type that gets speakers in for groups (and I know there are a few of you out there) you need to check your speakers.
I just received an invitation to a networking luncheon where the woman speaking is a known shady-lady. She owes a very powerful acquaintance of mine $300 – […]
I was back at the Caribou (my coffee shop of choice for actual work) and typing away when from behind me I hear, “Do you use Vista?”
Um…no.
Which leads this person into telling us (my friend was in a chair nearby) what a great deal he got on his new computer and he starts giving […]
I decided to take my own advice over the weekend and talk to a stranger.
After going to Caribou Coffee to get some work done with a friend of mine we heard this guy in a chair close-by start to laugh out loud. I asked my friend (via IM, we’re subtle like that) what he […]
I’m not sure how this Fun Friday thing is going to work out, but we’ll see.
Just for fun, find someone you don’t know this weekend and tell them what you do.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a business owner, a receptionist, or a database repair geek. Tell someone that is a complete stranger what […]
I logged onto Yahoo! Instant Messenger today and an offline message popped up:
screenname: I have to tell someone – I made a new logo today that can be found at www.websitename.com
Well, gosh. I’m so glad I got to be a random someone. Not, I respect your opinion. Not, you have a good eye. Not I […]
Fun story.
I met a woman and she was a client for a while. I did a few things for her and since everything I do is project based she didn’t have anything for a while, but we continued talking.
She listened to some of what I had to say about networking, plus she follows […]
So it looks like Tech Cocktail has jumped on the Ning love train and started a community.
It makes sense. All those people who think that Tech Cocktail is the greatest name of a community ever (me included) should be able to meet with people of like mind.
Yet, I’m hesitant to join.
Does […]
Over at Gal’s Guide there’s a great (co-ed friendly) post on getting to know your co-workers without resorting to gossip.
Check out the post by fellow Chicagoian (I’m close enough to Chicago, don’t judge me!) Blagica Bottigliero: Bond With Your Coworkers – Avoid Office Gossip.
As you all know I’m only okay with a certain type of […]
Having an objective on your resume is something that translates really well into an elevator pitch at a networking event. Or something like an elevator pitch but less annoying and more interesting.
Having an objective that’s kickin’ like a ninja can get you a job without having to fork over the resume first. That’s because it’s […]
