I have so many ideas and articles saved …so little time to organize them into a post. So today will be the first Monday that I will look through the weekly Business Calendar published by the Philadelphia Inquirer and share upcoming events that may be of interest to local readers. Those in other cities should be able to find comparable listings in print and online editions of their local newspapers:

This public networking doesn’t take the place of "warm" networking, but it can help to give a stalled career path new energy and connections. Click here to assess your "Networking Quotient," a quiz developed by one of the emerging personal marketing/social networking guru’s, Thom Singer.
How can professionals and executives network authentically, without giving in to the "brand bandwagon" that it sometimes promoted in a manner that is "over the top." Your comments and links to articles, books, etc. will be appreciated by this author and community of readers!
