Networking 101

Posted on January 29, 2008 at 11:12pm 4 Comments 0 Likes

It occurred to me tonight after I attended a local industry, social (I assumed networking) type event that people need to improve their networking skills. I belong to numerous networking associations and try to learn as much as I can about everyone I come into contact with. That's what I'm there for...right? I mean I can huddle with my friends (and I have many) and we could gossip about this and that, but truly my time is valuable...this is my opportunity to expand my horizons. I love… Continue

Business is awesome in the rafting industry. I'm definitely in a good place.

Happy Thanksgiving and best of luck for a busy holiday season!

Thanks! Yes, I check out the jobs frequently. I'm trying to stay away from another legal position though, will only go back to practicing law if I absolutely have to.

I took down Wayne's info, and will definitely go and hear him perform at Maison Carlos. Looking forward to it!

They should advertise that Wayne performs there, because I would have definitely gone to hear him had I known there was live music. I go to an Irish pub on the same street from time to time just because they have musicians playing a few nights a week.

Your friend should have no problem finding a condo - the market tanked here and there is a surplus of them. Do let me know if you guys come down for a visit, it would be fun to get together!

At 2:50pm on April 29, 2008, Jeni Michelson said…: Oh wow, I can't believe you knew of it. I think Wayne's been there for about 5 years. The season is usually Nov 1 to May 1. He is one of those people that come along in a lifetime and forever change the way you feel about music. He's a genius and one of my best friends. I owe him a trip in a huge way. We were on our way there in March of last year and we never made it on the plane..it was a disaster to say the least. Airport had 100,000 people stranded on spring break and we had those stupid buddy passes someone traded me for some work I did.
Believe me, you are not a buddy of any airline (ha!)
One of my other best friends is in the market for a condo in Pompano.

At 2:25pm on April 29, 2008, Lisa said…: Oh my gosh, she is so adorable! Hope she inherited the Michelson musical gene.

Thanks for the compliments, very flattering coming from someone as accomplished as you are! Your interactive therapy program is particularly interesting and sounds very worthwhile. Wish there was something like that for my Mom.

I look forward to hearing your friend at Maison Carlos. My girlfriends and I go there occasionally for their Wednesday night promos, but I've never heard music there. I love live music and am always looking for new venues, so I appreciate the info.

Do you ever travel to South Florida? My best to James . . .

At 10:18am on April 29, 2008, Lisa said…: Hey Jeni - that IS funny!

Hope James is flourishing in Real Estate... I really appreciated his help.

I still have the house on the Island, but am going to try to sell it soon. (would have already but market stinks) I've lived in Palm Beach for about 2.5 years now - moved here for a legal job/radio show and ended up opening a clothing boutique. I recently closed it because the location was all wrong, but may re-open in October (the next "season" around here). For now I'm selling online and looking for other opportunities. What a great networking site this is!

Glad we re-connected. Hope you will be playing someplace the next time I'm in Atlanta - would be great to hear you guys again. How are you and the rest of the family?
