Ingredients of Meaningful Networking.
Larry James has used a direct approach in this easy to understand guidebook
for maximizing your personal connections. The book is a challenging
adventure in self discovery.
After completing the recommended exercises at the end of each chapter, you
will be surprised at the amazing results. I recorded my life purpose and
goals. I then established dates for accomplishing a few action steps to
complete these goals. I was rewarded with a definite sense of immediate
achievement. I am now ready to tackle my next goal.
The "Hot Ideas" page at the end of each chapter allows the reader to jot
down personal lessons learned. As you record these summaries in your own
words they become personal and indelibly printed on your mind.
I found the chapters on coaching and listening to be packed with important
pointers for fitting together the author's networking concepts.
Throughout the book James provides thought-provoking quotes, from well known
contemporary and historical leaders. There is an entire chapter called
"PostQuips." These delightful, profound, quips and quotes are good for
reflection and become a ready reference for ongoing motivation and
inspiration.
An additional feature is "Larry's Booklist." This is a virtual treasure
trove of recommended reading to aid you in your commitment to maximizing
your personal connections.
This is a book for individuals seeking a new sense of balance and
achievement. Larry James has introduced countless beneficial applications
for every area of life. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for
closer relationships, a fuller life, for personal growth, or success in business.
