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

By	Chris Salzer (Gainesville, GA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a head-trip, a people trip!, January 16, 2002

By	Kenan D. Branam "Kenan" (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 Excellent book for developing and maintaining a network, July 9, 2002

By	"coachkim3" (...) - See all my reviews

The aptly titled "Power Networking" provides in-depth and practical ideas for creating and maintaining a network of personal and professional contacts. As a Personal and Executive Coach, many of my clients are looking to increase their businesses, and this book walks you through steps to do just this. One of the most gratifying things about this book is that the authors focus not only on how Power Networking can benefit you the reader, but how it can also benefit the people in your network and the world at large. In short, this book can help the most shy conversation-avoiders to the most outgoing network-seekers.
