From the Back Cover

It used to be that all you needed to network successfully was a set of business cards, an organizer, and a few promotional materials. Today, you need the ability to communicate your aspirations, a willingness to collaborate, and an understanding of the ways in which we're all drawn together in the new networked society. The strategy is called networlding.
It's the art of making meaningful connections and leveraging those connections in new and powerful ways.
Networlding goes deeper than traditional networking because it creates an entire support system that includes not just people who can help you in the short term, but people who understand your goals, share your values, and provide mutual support and benefits, time and time again. It also gives you and lets you offer others true fulfillment in the process.
Networlding is a guide to building these strong relationships and using them to create exciting new opportunities in your career, your community and your life. The authors describe networlds and explain why they work. They share the support exchange model that is the foundation for effective networlding relationships. And they lay out the seven-step networlding process. You can measure your current networlding abilities by taking the networlding quiz. Practical tools, exercises and simulations then help you build the additional networlding skills you need. And you can even log-on to networlding.com to connect and create new opportunities with socially responsible individuals and companies.
In today's fast-changing world, where getting ahead depends more on the connections you make than on the company you work for, networlding is an essential career strategy, and perhaps your only safety net. Networlding is an indispensable resource for people in every industry (employees and entrepreneurs alike) and in every nonprofit, at every stage of their career. It's a fundamental guide for those who want to learn how to develop and maintain the kinds of relationships and opportunities that will help them achieve their goals, advance their careers, and realize rewards on their own terms.
