Before I was introduced to Jennifer Folsom by Ann Jones, Director of Alumni Affairs at Georgetown University, I thought I knew how to network.  After all, I launched a networking website (the end product will be a place to connect on a whole different level than any other networking sites; wait until the business plan goes “live” to find out how), so naturally, I should know how to cultivate relationships. So I thought.  

After the first time Jennifer and I spoke on the phone, I knew we would become instantly comfortable being in each others’ lives and helping one another.  There were no hoops or barriers to overcome to reach a certain level of friendship.  After just one conversation, she immediately made several email introductions to many fabulous women including Diane MacEachern, the last featured woman, and Lisa Rangel, an amazing career coach and a trusted advisor for the first HeelsConnect Career Makeover participants.

Ladies (and a few gents), Jennifer is a networking guru.  Her picture should be next to the definition of “networking.”  And I love how she describes it as BUILDING ALLIANCES.   She is so right on (I really wanted to say “she is so money!”  If you saw the movie Swingers you would get it).   No matter what you’re doing, you want and need people who will be on YOUR side.  In the video below, Jennifer provides a wealth of information on networking, from which I learned valuable tips. The next blog will be Jennifer’s “a day in the life” which I could not read fast enough.  Trust me; you’ll be entertained.
