Respect the next person, it'll be less hurtingthe (failed) art of networking
Or left lurkin, while we kept our dreads working
Connect set for certain, total networking
-Rakim, "Up Lift"
so peep it. a bunch of supposedly grown people. that are still reluctant to go outside of their shells. and meet new people.
held the annual NSBE cookout to end the summer and get things going for the year with some professional development and events and such. so i came up with a networking contest. the first person to come to me with the names of five new people thay met whom they did not know previously would win a prize.
simple shT , right?
would you believe the prize is still burning a hole in my pocket?
apparently, folks need some more coaching on how to work a room and meet new people. i'm no expert. but i'm saying though. when there's a prize involved too? naturally, some heads did do it and met a lot of new people. but the follow through is important too. all these urban professionals done missed out on a free mp3 player. comedy.
but my jumper was looking right so I ain't mad.
