5.0 out of 5 stars The Bottom Line on PEOPLE POWER is your Bottom Line, February 15, 1999

By A Customer

I'm an IS Professional, more at home with computer networks than people networks. I've always put my faith in hard facts and quick answers. Reading Donna's book taught me that my relationships with people were more important than the work I performed for them.

I learned that networking is not a strategy but a Lifestyle. It was fun to read and full of special sections I used to apply each Power Principle. I used the questions in the "Pause" sections to develop a daily networking action plan. It helped double my active client list in just six months.

This book reminds us that we need to give before we can receive. Give this book to yourself today so you can receive the benefits immediately!

My Favorite Quote: "The truth is that the more high-tech we get, the more high touch we'll require."

5.0 out of 5 stars Your 30 Second Commercial, October 2, 2002

By	Carmen Matthews "The Serene Samurai" (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you have ever been to a meeting where their are say, 100's of people, all whom you don't know, it's not easy to stand up and give a 30 second "commmercial" about yourself, as you pan you audience.

You might tend to say, "Who are these people? What do they want from me? I don't want to be here, doing this."

Well, with the help of reading this easy to follow book, you will learn to enjoy writing your own 30 second commercial, and knowing that commercial so well, that each time you are invited to a meeting, it will take you only 10 seconds to adjust your commercial according to the type of meeting, whose there, and how you relate to them.

Then you will dazzle them in 30 seconds.

Read this book to introduce the best of yourself to yourself, and to others - it will mark another milestone in your life's journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars People Power inspired me to connect to people in a new way., March 12, 1999

By A Customer

I have begun to use just a few of Donna's principles and already am noticing a change in myself when talking with others. The power of interdependence and support is awesome.

I recommend People Power wholeheartedly to anyone who is tired of going it alone and wants a shift in the way they interact with others.
