Last week was the perfect example of how Social Media, and particularly LinkedIn, can be a great first point of contact in the Networking Process.
Let me tell you my lovely and totally true story. A few weeks ago, I began the process of customizing my talk for the ERC (Employee Relocation Conference) on Enhancing Career Relationships. This led me to a random search on LinkedIn for attendees of the Chicago event. The first person I came across was Michelle Sandlin,
Hey every – today, if you go to www.cnn.com/goinggreen, you’ll find the interview I did with Laura Turner Seydel of the Eco Manor in Atlanta. As you know, Laura is the daughter of CNN founder Ted Turner, and as she explains, the green movement has been a lifelong way of life for the Turners.
Nadia met up with Author/Actress Mariel Hemingway at the Eco Manor in Atlanta Georgia. Mariel gives some great advice on taking small steps towards and cleaner, greener life. The Eco Manor, if you didn’t know, is owned by the daughter of CNN founder Ted Turner. That interview is up next so stay tuned.

Linked in. It’s great for showing off all of those recommendations that people so generously give out. It’s also great for keeping the discussions going in between networking events. You get 9 questions per month under the free account at set-up so use them. Ask away. And go into the discussions area and read away. Help others by commenting. It’s absolutely a wonderful tool.
And see these kind words from Deborah Jensen, a participant at a recent seminar I gave.

Jan Rattia is the Manager of Corporate Learning at Atlanta’s Emory University. He’s happily employed yet still attends networking events. But why?
He says it’s because we MUST stay current; and he’s right!
Your career is always evolving and networking should be something that you enjoy. If you are genuinely interested in what’s going on out there you’ll do wonderfully. Always remember to be yourself. “It’s what you’re best at” as Jan tells us.
