7 Reasons Networking Can Be a Professional Development Boot Camp
Oh Networking..How I love thee!.....NOT! How many of you have felt this way at one time or another? I think we all have our moments when networking is the LAST thing we want to do. But, I thought I'd share the following article. It gives some great tips and advice on how to make the most of it as well as how to be prepared so that it is worth your time. Happy Networking!

How many times do you say to yourself that you need to meet more people?

That your circle of influence needs to be strengthened?  That your skills and talents have yet to be discovered?  Your career requires you to network and in today's marketplace you must be more active than ever. 

But networking requires planning. An approach that is strategic and measurable; that you can learn from each time you introduce yourself to a new crowd or reacquaint yourself with an old one.

If you are strategic and view networking through an opportunity lens, it can serve as a powerful professional development boot camp experience.

Networking demands that you test your ideas, hone your ability to communicate and improve your executive presence. Networking is a full-time job and the more time you dedicate to it - the more you will learn what works for you and against you.  The more you procrastinate, the more you will find yourself disconnected from the opportunities that may potentially advance your career or allow you to meet the right people.  Procrastination will take you back a few steps and you will lose the competitive edge that comes with meeting new people, gathering knowledge, and observing others that have mastered networking.

 

Networking is not easy.   For some, it's like having to take a required class in college that you had no interest in, but had to complete in order to graduate. Remember, in business and in life - success is earned from learning how to do things that you don't like doing.

 

Networking requires 100% commitment. You don't need to be naturally outspoken to be successful in networking environments.  However, you do need to be prepared to deliver value when called upon. In other words, when it's your turn to say something - make it count.......

Fast Talk with Vickey Wachtel --Relational Loan Specialist
  _______________________________
Kathie Norris

Buying a home can be one of the most stressful times in a person's life. It can also be one of the most rewarding. Kathie Norris's goal is for each customer to feel comfortable throughout the loan process.  

 

Communication is key to a streamlined process. I take the time to explain the process and keep the customer updated on what stage we are in.

 

I think it is very important for the borrower to have an advocate at their closing in addition to their Real Estate Agent. I make every attempt to attend all of my closings.

 

I am not a transactional loan specialist;  I am a relational loan specialist.  I am interested in building a trusted and lasting relationship with my customers.  I am honored to say that many of my customers have become friends.

Testimonial of the Week!



Dear  Dr. Simberg,

Thank you so much for having me as a guest on the show today.  

I do a lot of radio and having such an reflective and responsive host as Dr. Simberg is extremely refreshing.  It isn't often that I am asked to delve a little deeper into the material and to provide healing insights for others.  And, it is rare the the host is tracking so closely and meaningfully with the recovery messages being discussed.  

Thank you, Dr. Simberg. Our interview was truly a pleasure, both professionally and personally.

With wellness and warmth,
Holli
