It’s human nature to swim in the same circles, stay in the same path and network with the same people. And it’s actually a smart thing to do - most of the time. Any strength overused becomes a weakness and when you never venture out to new circles and stop making new contacts you are doing a disservice to yourself and to those you serve.
That’s why International Networking Day ™ exists. Networking is an essential component in both our personal and professional lives. The mission of International Networking Day™ and International Networking Week™ is to commemorate the role networking plays in our business and personal lives. Our Goal is to bring together over 500 people from various organizations – who wouldn’t normally network together – to create new ideas and opportunities. International Networking Day™ is the cornerstone dedicated to featuring various networking events; both nationally and internationally.
On February 2, 2010, a huge networking event will take place in Pittsburgh featuring Debby Peters, Networking Guru. Debby Peters (www.cnpofohio.com/) will be giving a presentation entitled “From Network Dating to Network Dollars” where participants will learn how to translate networking activities into real business!
So step outside that same circle. Reconnect with people you haven’t seen in a while. Meet new people who can help you and your inner circle with products, experts and/or information. And someone you meet may need you, your products, expertise and information. Make it a point to register for International Networking Day at www.indpittsburgh.com
