Work the Pond

June 14th, 2005

A new book showed up in my aggregator today. It’s called Work the Pond: Use the Power of Positive Networking to Leap Forward in Work. Perfect timing for two huge library conferences (ALA and CLA). I saw the following acronym from the book excerpt:

“N: Never leave home without one’s business cards

E: Establish, exchange, engage-simple techniques that really work

T: Travel in pairs-how to have more fun networking

W:’Work the pond’-practice Positive Networking and use time wisely

O: Opportunity is everywhere-discover ’small-worlds’ connections

R: Repeat, repeat, repeat-the more networking one does, the better one gets

K: Keep it going-the art of follow-up and relationship-building”

Good advice for librarians attending the biggies over the next two weeks.
