Personal Branding
"I've learned that people will never forget how you make them feel."
Maya Angelou
Networking is the exchange of information to establish and maintain relationships, however, being personable is just as important as being professional. Relationships are built on a foundation of good communication, respect for others' viewpoints and the ability to connect, all important critical skills and conducting business successfully depends on connecting in a productive and meaningful way. Diplomacy is founded on communicating in a non-offensive manner, treating people with dignity and civility, and being fully aware of one's own behavior. How you handle a situation, not the situation itself, is key to successful interactions.
Building your Personal Brand is how people remember you and frequently determines how you may be acknowledged in the future. Entering a room confidently establishes your presence, engaging in conversation, initiating introductions and putting others at ease will demonstrate your social expertise and leadership skills.

"Internal Networking is an important key to successful career moves, and External Networking is the office away from the office. Planned networking often offers a speaker or program as part of the agenda, whereas spontaneous networking is a mix of business and pleasure in a relaxed social environment."
Gloria Petersen - Global Protocol Academy
