Networking means different things to different people. Some may think it's about collecting cards and contacts. Others may think it only happens in person . . . in places like golf courses or exclusive clubs or business luncheons.

About the Author

I used to be a wallflower. I didn't know about networking, and I didn't want to know. Then I was laid off from my job, and I was told, "You'll have to network to find your next job."

I was devastated, but I gave it a try. I finally networked my way to an interview for a sales job, and that's when I had a real "Ah ha!" moment. During the interview, I didn't have to talk. The owner of the company was obviously trying to sell me on the job. I didn't have to sell myself. The person who brought me in for the interview had already done it.

That's when I realized the power of networking.

I did well at that sales job, but decided I really wanted to help other people learn to network, so I started my own business as a networking coach. I've helped lots of clients build business relationships through networking and social media. I've gathered what I've learned on my own and through working with clients into The Enthusiastic Networker.

But I also have a love of fiction, and I decided to self-publish a series of urban fantasies set in Washington D.C., where I live. The first one is out, but there will be more to come.

Enjoy!
