Relationships specialist, Larry James started selling when he was 10 year old. He's been a student of business networking
ever since. He has build his speaking and publishing businesses on the concept of creating close personal and professional
relationships through networking and has been called, "America's Networking Guru!"
Larry's popular seminar, "Making Relationships Work; Personally and Professionally" is especially for businesses
and networking professionals. It is adapted from Larry's book, "Ten Commitments of Networking" and two of his
relationship books, "How to Really Love the One You're With" and "LoveNotes for Lovers."
Exploring the differences between men and women will always be a challenge. Larry was formerly on staff with
Dr. John Gray, Ph.D., author of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus." His experience with Dr. Gray,
in the workplace, in his personal life and with the people who attend his "Relationship Enrichment LoveShops" have
given him valuable insights about how to make relationships work!
This seminar focuses on the keys to effective relationships in your personal life and with business associates.
It begins with understanding the five most important pieces of the personal relationship puzzle. To know them is to develop
and maintain healthy relationships. You will explore the relationship you have with yourself, with your lifetime love partner
and the people you make connections with in your business.
A commitment to a lifetime study of relationships is a requirement. Why? Because relationships are all there is!
This seminar (or keynote) is designed to help people fit the pieces of the relationship puzzle together in a healthy way and
will highlight creative ways to do that through personal insights and effective business networking!
People who cultivate effective relationships are not afraid to do things differently! They do things that other people
are not willing to do! They have integrity, commitment and exercise their power of choice! In addition to creating healthy
love relationships, Larry will present "The 10 Commitments of Networking;" commitments necessary to cultivate successful
business relationships!

The Premise. . .
Personal and professional relationships are something that must be worked on all the time, not only when
they are broken and need to be fixed!

The 10 Commitments of Networking. . .
Commitment #1 - Blueprint Your Life! - No Purpose. No Goals. First,
define your purpose. Know Purpose! Know Goals! Design your future by setting goals. Decide what you want.
Commitment #2 - Accept Responsibility! - Be accountable to yourself
for the choices you make and for the consequences of your actions.
Commitment #3 - Be Coachable! - Listen for and be open to new ideas
and suggestions others in your network of support may offer.
Commitment #4 - Show Up! - Be places that count. Make an encounter.
Don't expect a quick fix. Get involved in charitable and community projects, but choose wisely. Not all events will be valuable to you.
Be seen. Attend business and professional meetings. Networking opportunities are everywhere! Begin local, then expand nationally.
Commitment #5 - Be Yourself! - Demonstrate your own authenticity.
Be unto others as you would have them be unto you. Be real.
Commitment #6 - Pay attention! - Look for opportunity! Talk 20%
of the time! Listen 80% of the time!
Commitment #7 - Contribute! - Be the solution! Networking is
contribution; it's helping others help themselves! Allow others to contribute to you!
Commitment #8 - Ask For What You Want! - Tell people what you
need. They can't read your mind.
Commitment #9 - Say "Thank You!" - Express appreciation.
Acknowledge others for their contribution to you. Be creative with your gratitude!
Commitment #10 - Stay Connected! - Be in touch! Network on the
phone, by e-mail and frequent notes. Never forget the people in your network of support and never let them forget you!
Results You Can Expect. . .

other and business associates!
A better understanding of how to be in a
relationship that works!
Make more sales. . . AND only when "you" are

next' where exciting personal and business breakthroughs await you!

of relationships at home and in the workplace. References from business leaders.
Customer Appreciation Idea! - Here's a novel way to say, "Thank you" to your customers and
build stronger relationships with them. Introduce them to business networking. Invite your customers (and/or prospects) to one of
our business seminars. You decide who to invite and make the necessary arrangements for the meeting site (which could be in your office).
You can even provide refreshments and handout materials about your company's products and services. Invite your own company employees
to attend or the top producers as a reward for recent achievements. We will help you develop the perfect seminar that will have the desired
effect. Some companies we work with make this an annual event.
Call, write or send an e-mail for information about booking a seminar or keynote for your group!
