The next Savvy Saturday Sessions will feature reports from the Texas state officers and members concerning information and ideas learned from the forums, lab sessions and speakers at the Women’s Council Mid Year Conference in DC.

The Top 5 Secrets of Great Networkers
Networking is about forming authentic, mutually beneficial, long term relationships.
Nobody is born knowing how to network. Here are some tips from master connectors:

_ Only rule is the Golden Rule
_ Get outside yourself through curiosity
2. Quality Beats Quantity

_ Focus on Connectors
_ Minimize clones; maximize diversity
_ The one with access to the most information wins
3. Everyone has Something of Value to Contribute – Including YOU

_ Being asked feels good
_ “Payback” can be months later
_ Saying ‘thank you’ is often enough
4. Use the Laws of Physics
