KEY: 3. Conduct & Integrity “Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise. Ephesians 5:15 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Colossians 4:5 “A life in which anything goes will ultimately be a life in which nothing goes.” - John Maxwell Conduct is defined in the Oxford dictionary as ‘the manner in which a person behaves, especially in a particular place or situation’.

The next time someone says – “I think it would be great if you could meet ‘so and so’ I think you would really like each other” – get the information and make sure you reach out to that person. 2. Get comfortable introducing yourself…my favorite introduction is ‘I don’t believe we have met…my name is ----“ 3. Be politely persistent if you really want to meet someone…coffee is always a safe option. 4. If you know someone who knows the person you want to meet, then be courageous enough to ask them to help you by making an introduction for you (this is my favorite!) 5. Always be nice to everyone. You have no idea who you are in contact with or better yet who they may know so treat everyone the same – with utmost respect (I cannot stress this one enough). 6. It’s never too late to start networking the right way. So start reconnecting and strengthening existing relationships and form new ones too. It could be the one move you need to make to reenergize your career and introduce you to some great people who could become great friends and provide richness and diversity in your personal life. 7. Networking is not a sprint it’s more like a marathon – it takes time and could be years before you start to see the real benefit materialize. So have a long-term

My heart was thumping wildly, “What if I mess up?”, “What if I ask the wrong questions?” “What if I get them mixed up?” I was just before panicking. I arrived at the coffee shop where Mrs. Cleantech and I agreed to get together. We decided to meet at 3:00 to avoid the large lunch and supper crowds. What timing! We met at the front door! I asked the hostess if we could have some privacy. She was accommodating and guided us to a small table in the rear corner of the room. My confidence was rising, I think I was appropriately dressed! I was wearing my black slacks with a light green jacket. Mrs. Joe Cleantech was wearing simple clothes; brown slacks and a yellow sweater. We shook hands, introduced ourselves and sat down.
Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices. ~ Alfred A. Montapert.
Does this bit of initial attraction sound familiar? You see him standing across the crowded room. He is standing there drink in one hand and his head slightly cocked to one side listening to conversation. You are thinking how hot and sexy he looks in his pin stripped suit. Then his eyes suddenly meet yours. He smiles and you coyly smile back. He ambles over to where you are standing. As he gets closer you notice that your heart pounds faster, you feel flush, your palms are sweatier, and the butterflies are fluttering. He introduces himself and makes the two of you make small talk. Then, he buys you a drink and more small talk ensues. First rule of thumb, as this small talk occurs remember to relax and be yourself; let nature take its course. Naturally he asks you out and you gracefully accept. Now is the time for some more helpful tips. On the first date, never do these two things.

“Men of thoughtless actions are always surprised by consequences.” -Sarah Addison Allen Many times humanity is more concerned if they can accomplish the impossible that they don’t stop to ponder whether or not they should. Every action has an equal or opposite reaction; thus every endeavor demands an outcome whether a good outcome or an unfavorable one.

The final stage of introduction is conversation. The exchange is generally mechanical, and will follow some loose rules. We exchange names and affiliations, and will then move on to interests or areas of business. This stage doesn’t change much in each social interaction and is an attempt to find common ground. As each individual finds similarities or subjects to which they can relate, they will become more comfortable with each other. The first impression has at this point been formed and we now carry that general idea of that person in our heads as we remember them, or meet them again....
