But a broader view of business networking is creating a pool of contacts from which you can draw leads, referrals, ideas, and information for your job search. You can network without ever attending an official business or social networking event, although attending events is useful in networking.

Business & Networking Ambassador

• Jun 2011 - Jun 2012

Business networking is a socioeconomic activity by which groups of like-minded businesspeople recognize, create, or act upon business opportunities. A business network is a type of social network whose reason for existing is business activity. There are several prominent business networking organizations that create models of networking activity that, when followed, allow the business person to build new business relationships and generate business opportunities at the same time. A professional network service is an implementation of information technology in support of business networking. Many businesspeople contend business networking is a more cost-effective method of generating new business than advertising or public relations efforts. This is because business networking is a low-cost activity that involves more personal commitment than company money.

Personal development - growth

• Sep 2010 - Jun 2011

The bottom line in promoting your personal growth is this: identify what you do best, and do more of it. Identify what you do worst, and stop doing it.A lot of people have trouble identifying their strengths, and it does take time for people to get to know themselves. I can’t tell you how often friends ask me for tips on how they can sort out what they really want to do, no matter where they are in their careers. Everyone has their own path to personal development, but here are some questions to ask yourself that will help you identify your strengths.In the end, if you keep your focus on developing your areas of real passion - and if you surround yourself with positive people who will help you develop that passion - good things will follow.At most, devote twenty percent of your energy to minimize the impact of your weaknesses, but use the other eighty percent to build your strengths so much that your limitations become irrelevant.
