If you’re not on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, you’ve probably heard people talking about Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. These online “social networks” make it possible for people to connect via the Internet, which is great if you don’t have the time or energy to connect with dozens, or even hundreds, of people who want your [...]

Last week, I talked about Guy Kawasaki’s blog post, “The Art of Schmoozing”, and how it’s important to ask good questions (then shut up), and to unveil your passions. But what I didn’t talk about was following up, something so important that Kawasaki spent the entire second half of the post talking about that. The [...]

The next time you’re at a networking event, watch The Dance. If you pay careful attention, you’ll see it. It’s like everyone there is involved in a little scientific dance with each other, a pattern of social interaction that looks as much like a minuet as an example of how cells divide and multiply.

I found a great article in the December 2007 issue of CIO Magazine about business networking for shy people. As I read it, I realize I don’t know that many shy people. One of my good friends is painfully shy, and my wife marvels at the fact that we’re such good friends, because Bill doesn’t [...]

As a rabid networker, I’m always looking for a way to meet new people. My daughter was explaining to one of her friends yesterday, “Anytime we go somewhere, my dad always seems to know someone. And if he doesn’t, he makes sure he meets someone before we leave.” But what if you don’t have the [...]

I attended the very first At The Top Networking event at the Skyline Club on Tuesday. I’ve been to a lot of networking events in the last two years, and have met more than my fair share of the city’s small business people and entrepreneurs. Indianapolis Business Journal founder and former Indiana Secretary of Commerce [...]

When I first moved to Indianapolis, I had no idea who Mickey Maurer was. People would whisper his name in hushed tones, like he was some big deal. Turns out he was. When I worked at the State Health Department, he was the Indiana Secretary of Commerce — which made us colleagues by the wildest [...]
