I am often asked how is it that I have come to know so many people. I think that it has to be easy when you've worked in the media, advertising, and other high volume industries. I spent just shy of six years at Time Warner in a role that allowed me to craft strategic partnerships with media brands, celebrities and a variety of industries. banks, non-profits, consumer product groups, telecommunications companies, advertising agencies, etc. It was quite the ride. Beyond that it is about my way of being and how I network. Please see this video that was recorded late last year. I share some philosophies on how I think people can be effective networkers.
The blatant and horrid disrespect of our Nation's President started long before the State of the Union address where he was called a " liar" and continues with even worse name calling and racial attacks. Our President may be referred to as the following: " Mr. President", "The Honorable Barack Obama", "His Excellency, Barack Obama", and of course President Obama. Nothing less is acceptable. Even referencing him by first name alone (as many people do) is out of line unless you are First Lady Michelle Obama. While I think we are a global family, I also think these ongoing episodes do much to further segregate America and give it the image of our country as a place of disgrace, disuntity, and hate. Imagine trying to explain it to a 5 year old who followed the campaign and elections with her family and proudly declared that " Our President is Barack Obama and Ms. Michelle looks like my Nana." (*my heart breaks for
Great interview and concept! Learned a lot -- I always say I dislike networking, associating it with a phoney meeting or setting, but the method you described as it being more a connection with people at any time any place, is more alined with my liking.
