Holiday Networking Tips

Bob and Anil talk about having fun during the holidays with friends, co-workers and family. Avoid getting hot headed and tense when asked what you've been up to. Should anyone ask you, just answer their question and say you can chat more at another time and not at dinner. Speak the truth. Share what you have been learning. If things are going great, just say a little and invite anyone wanting to learn more to chat with you privately after the festivities are complete. Do not go into an event with an agenda. That never goes well. Remember, to leave everyone in a good space, and do not make things about YOU and your agenda. Some of these folks you probably have not spoken to or seen all years so make your gathering memorable in a great way. Where you mess up or have messed up, just apologize and clean things up quickly.
