Synopsis

Networking can happen anywhere: on planes, at barbecues, at basketball games. Everyone has the seeds of a great network within reach. To establish genuine relationships and build a network with life-long value, we must proactively meet people in person.

Pat Hedley offers hard-earned wisdom about the true spirit of networking, a learned skill that can be mastered by anyone, even introverts. She debunks the notion that networking is a self-interested act. Instead, she reveals it to be a life-long endeavor based on cooperation and reciprocity.

Meet 100 People provides the networking toolkit for career success by offering inspiration, motivation, and practical advice, including:

• Real stories from those beginning the networking process

• Sample resumes and outreach emails

• Dos and don’ts

• Reflection exercises

Jump start your career by meeting 100 people—and more! The network that will sustain you for a lifetime begins with the first person you shake hands with today.
