Power Networking: 55 Secrets for Personal and Professional Success

This is the best book I have read on the subject of networking. It focuses on the aspect of "giving" information to the people you network with rather than "getting" something from them. We would all be much better off if everyone practiced just a few of the techniques that the author shares. I plan on incorporating most of the 55 practical tips right away. The book is a fast-read and is very helpful if you want to connect with people for any purpose, whether it be for your career or for social reasons.

My business depends upon networking and cultivating prospects. Donna Fisher's book is a primer, with suggestions, recommendations, and how-to's. Real knowledge that one can put to use immediately. Very good information that can be used at both the professional and personal level.

Donna's book, Power Networking, elevates "networking" to the higher level it so rightfully deserves. It's the first book I've seen that emphasizes the "win-win" side to networking rather than neworking just for the sake of "what's in it for me?"

The strongest recommendation that I can give Donna's book is that it's never in my bookcase, but always on loan to someone in the midst of career transition, personal re-evaluation or eager to improve their networking skills. I have given this book to a number of friends and family members as a gift because I have seen that following the principles Donna presents works in the real world.

When traveling for my job, I listen to the audio tapes of Power Networking : 55 Secrets for Personal & Professional Success. This book has improved my networking skills incredibly. I have extended my current network to include international contacts as well as top executives in my field. At first, I listened to the entire book twice, then I listened to sections as I needed certain skills to be reinforced. Now, I want to give parts of the book to my employees to help build their contact database.This book is a must have!
