This review is from: Power Networking: 55 Secrets for Personal and Professional Success (Hardcover)

The strongest recommendation that I can give Donna's book is that it's never in my bookcase, but always on loan to someone in the midst of career transition, personal re-evaluation or eager to improve their networking skills. I have given this book to a number of friends and family members as a gift because I have seen that following the principles Donna presents works in the real world.

My business depends upon networking and cultivating prospects. Donna Fisher's book is a primer, with suggestions, recommendations, and how-to's. Real knowledge that one can put to use immediately. Very good information that can be used at both the professional and personal level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Networking in "win-win" rather than self-serving terms, March 10, 1999

By A Customer

Donna's book, Power Networking, elevates "networking" to the higher level it so rightfully deserves. It's the first book I've seen that emphasizes the "win-win" side to networking rather than neworking just for the sake of "what's in it for me?"
