Network your way through the downturn
by Dr. Karen Otazo
More than ever, networking takes attention and
follow up. It’s cheaper to pay attention there than pay in other
ways. The follow up is where the payoff occurs. Just recently I was
at an incredible networking event put on by a wonderful woman named
Rima. She is one of my role models for effective networking and
leadership. She spends an enormous amount of time thinking about
putting people together. Sitting at my table were two amazing women,
Irene, a journalist and Rohini, a documentary film maker. After a
spirited conversation at the dinner event put on by Rime, we
followed up with a dinner last night in Washington, D.C. to discuss
our passions, our mutual interests and our plans. With plans for
more dinners and a women’s salon in the autumn, we can continue our
dialogue and learn together.
