Breaking Through Networking Stigmas by Kris Parfitt - Nov, 2009 “My intention is to meet five people at this function who I really connect with and that two of them eventually become clients.” My friend was impressed while somewhat doubtful of my declaration.

As adults, most of us identify ourselves by our jobs or what we do. We understand others in these same terms as well. We are known by these tags until we choose to provide more insight or information into who... |

That’s what I do. W... |
