networking

There is a difference between a job and a hobby.  When you decide to do something for fun, to help you relax or to take your mind off your problems, you don’t have to do it well and you don’t have to do it forever.

These are revolutionary ideas to most people.

In our Consulting Skills Workshop, we emphasize the need to establish relationships with people in your organization, industry and business community in order to expand your influence.  This is the basic premise of networking, but not everyone is gifted with the ability to establish an immediate connection that naturally grows into a mutually beneficial relationship with everyone they meet. For some of us, it's the hardest part of consulting.
