2.0 out of 5 stars Semi-useful, but nothing new, November 1, 2004

This review is from: Power Networking: 59 Secrets for Personal & Professional Success (Paperback)

If you've read at least one networking book, you most likely will find little, if anything, useful from this one. I must admit there are some helpful hints such as: 1) Avoid the Lone Ranger mentality, 2) Give without expecting anything in return, 3) Gain value from every contact, 4) Become an active and perceptive listener, & 5) The 3 Foot Rule.

These(like most of the 59 "secrets") present a somewhat hackneyed approach to networking. Although worth a look-see, I would recommend a check out from the library for this title, rather than wasting your mula.

The Power Networking book has traveled with me (along with my professional association's phone book) all over the world.
Why? Networking is neither rocket science nor a head-trip, it's all about attitude, good habits, and heart.

Donna Fisher delivers all in her books and her workshops.

The second edition offers savvy ways to connect with people in this new information age.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Power of Networking, July 2, 2003

By

This review is from: Power Networking: 59 Secrets for Personal & Professional Success (Paperback)

I bought this book eight years ago when I started my business and it remains one of the best resources I have. The updated version is even better, including the new era of technology. What I loved most about this book is the focus on building relationships and dropping the "Lone Ranger Mentality." The book stresses that networking is a way to help others, develop relationships and build our own businesses. But it does stress giving before asking. The concept is the more we give, the more we will get. I have found this to be true. I am thankful I found this book when I did, it has made a big difference in my career.
