Now this is how to network properly

You can't learn too early!!

This is my granddaughter Aimee...so what would you expect?

Network...simply to gain knowledge & Testimonials

I ama member of Pro-Manchester, a fantastic networking club for the professional and financial community of Manchester. Once a month they run an event which is pure magic for people interested in the past.
Ken Moth of the Building Design Partnership takes us on a walk around Manchester. His knowledge of it's history, buildings and hertitage seems limitless and he presents his talk in such a passionate and enthusiatic manner.
Yes you walk with other members and talk so you could call it networking. I re-established relationships and met new people. BUT I hardly talked business. Ken was far too interesting.
He showed us round St Anns Church , Manchester Cathedral and the world famous Chetham's School of Music.
This was the place where Karl Marx met Frederick Engels and was the birthplace for the ideals of communism.
What a great hour, what knowledge I gained.
Sometimes it's just good to leave your normal place of work and 'smell the roses'

Testimonials

I received a hand-written card from Catherine Boddington ( head of training and development) of Addleshaw Goddard , a major UK law firm, thanking me for my contribution in being awarded a postion in the top 100 companies to work for .
Going round telling people how good you are means nothing but when others say it then that's marketing!!
Oh, don't worry, Catherine said I could tell everyone

People, generally, are really nice

I was guest speaker today at the Business Development conference of Hitachi Capital
At lunch time Paul my friend who drove me down, fell and cut his head badly. I didn't see it but by the time someone pointed it out there was a delegate who was an experienced first -aider sorting it out. The hotel called the hospital and everything was under control. Mind you Paul ended with 5 stitches and I had to drive home!!
I was actually talking to Richard , another delegate, at the time who said that although he had to leave early he had met a large client yesterday who had said they were looking for a speaker for their conference. He was going to put my name forward as he left our conference
Aren't people nice?
