Let`s face it, giving speeches in public, writing articles, or doing anything else out of one`s comfort zone, including networking, is not easy, comfortable and/or fun for many people. Just like anything else, knowledge is power, and practice makes perfect. Once you learn, practice and eventually master a few basic techniques, you will realize networking can be fun and even very profitable! There is a certain `art and science` to networking. If you are a business owner or a salesperson, it is imperative to learn how to network effectively; your financial success may depend on it! You don`t have to be a natural-born extrovert or even an expert in your field to be able to approach a stranger and make a connection! We could learn much from children. Some children tend to be fearless; they simply do not know any better. They usually do not have any inhibitions or insecurities that prevent them from doing or saying things. As we get older, experiences, assumptions, and fears creep in and prevent us from accomplishing our goals. Let`s get back to the basics (clean slate) for a moment, and simply forget all you have learned or thought you knew about networking. Humans are social creatures by nature. At our workshop, you will practice how to socialize and network not only to grow our businesses, but to meet more people effectively and successfully!
Consider the following quotes (Please share this and pay it forward!):
- Networking = Hospitality = Success
- Best business is personal business. Give and you shall receive.
- Perception is reality. You only have one chance to make a first impression.
- The key to success is not what you know, or who you know, it`s who knows you!
- A little courtesy goes a long way. Golden Rule - Treat others like you would like to be treated.
- The main purpose of any business is to grow.
If your business or organization is not growing, it it NOT a business,
it is a hobby!

I enjoyed the seminar so much as I learned how I could improve. You have some great suggestions that are practical and I left feeling I could do it. Thanks again. I am paying it forward! - Antoinette Warren
I want to thank you for giving us invaluable tips on how to effectively network with people. I feel lucky to be able to attend your workshop, which is one of the best workshops I have ever attended. I get more ideas about networking because you brought up a lot of good practical examples during the workshop. I really like how you mentioned about the mistakes that people usually make during networking. My confidence level is definitely the aspect that I need to improve the most. Hopefully, by practicing I can improve my communication skills as well as enhancing my confidence level at the same time. Thank you once again for the positive energy and the empowerment you radiated throughout the entire workshop. - Lilyana Chandra
Thank you for hosting the everyCircle Networking 101 Workshop last night. It was very informative and I got a lot out of it. Sometimes we look at the fundamentals and say, “that’s Networking 101, I know that” when what we should be asking is, “that’s Networking 101, how good am I at that?” - Michael McClure, Ad Art Sign Company
I was present in yesterdays (06.18.2013) Networking 101 event and I must say it was an amazing experience. You did an amazing job. I got really good insight about my networking style and 30 sec elevator pitch. I will work on them and will improve in future. I would surely apply the principles, you told me and I will improve my elevator pitch according to your positive criticisms. - Shaunak Deo, IT Consultant
It was great meeting you last night! I just wanted to thank you for your time, energy and information. For as long as I`ve been around, I`m amazed with how much more I can always learn. I especially appreciate how passionate you are about what you do, and how well you express yourself. If there are any opportunities to refer you and your consulting, I will let you know. - Rob Ways, Vice President, Comerica Bank
I can`t express enough how valuable that workshop was. I realized i had been doing many of the good things but also many of the bad. Now that I am aware of what needs changing I am on mission to correct it all before my next event...
- Miguel Chapeton, Palo Alto Guide, Bonobos.com
You are a wonderful host and I definitely learned a lot from the workshop. I totally agree with your philosophy when it comes to networking because most of the time a lot of people (which including myself and that’s why I was at the workshop) forgot about the fact that “it’s not about them, it’s about the others”. I am definitely taking this approach when I meet new people moving forward because I know it will help me in the long run. Thanks for hosting all these wonderful events. I am looking forward to seeing you at future events to expand my businesses and build meaningful relationships with new people as well. - Kenny Lau, Premier Banker, East West Bank
Just wanted to follow-up and thank you for a productive and enjoyable evening. Chris and I both appreciated your philosophy, strategy, and tactics about networking. Your tips on what to say were very helpful to me. I wish you continued success in your business community building here in the Bay Area. - Julia Arellano Sullivan, ProsperoLeadership.com
Cesar, I know you`re a busy guy but I just wanted to thank you for the energetic workshop you gave tonight. I learned about tips for working an event and tips for running an event. - Robert Sharrock, Notary Signing Agent Food For Thought

Having a conversation with your BFF. A day at the beach. Enjoying the sights.
Having dinner out with your friends. Cheering on your team.
