networking

I was a guest speaker at a business networking event recently and it became apparent that the secret to great networking is not how many people you know, but rather how many people know you! I know (and have met) Nelson Mandela - I'm not sure he knows who I am when he hears my name. I'm hoping to be surprised though!! In order to be truly remembered, we have to take steps that will encourage the people we meet to see us as remarkable.
