On Smart Networking Radio this week I interviewed Career Architect Cindy Yantis who had so much valuable insight to share about:

  • Thumbnail image for CindyYantis.pngWhy EVERYONE needs to have a strong personal brand -- whether you're an employee or entrepreneur
  • How focusing your personal brand around your core values lets you put your own unique stamp on what you do AND gives you a clearer vision and sense of purpose
  • How to take the right actions to support the goals of your brand
  • How to own the room at a networking event or interview
  • And much more!

You'll want to listen to EVERY minute of this content-packed interview.

You'll also hear about a great opportunity to work with Cindy on building your own magic brand. If you don't have all the business referrals or job leads that you can handle, then it's time to do something about it.

Check out Cindy's signature program Five Weeks to Building Your Personal Brand which starts next week. It's already VERY attractively priced for the amount of training you'll get, but listeners of Smart Networking Radio can take advantage of a generous $50 discount with a special promo code revealed on the show.

How Did You Hear About Us?

They don't really read the document; they scan it for keywords, competencies, and achievement-based content that quickly showcases how a candidate can add value to an organization. Does your current resume pass the 30-second test? Join us to find out. During this teleseminar participants will discover:

  • Methods for incorporating on-message keywords into the resume.
  • Exciting and compelling strategies for highlighting your core brand.
  • How to write accomplishment-driven, powerful content that gets noticed by hiring managers.

Part of being a strong connector in networking is consistently introducing people to others they should know, and The Smart Networking blog is one of the ways I can do that in a big way. Hopefully many of you have "met" my friends Stefanie Smith, Walter Akana, Miriam Salpeter and Michele Woodward in posts I've written here in the last few weeks.

I'm taking those introductions to the airwaves and I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be kicking off my 2009 Teleseminar Series with a very special guest, Facebook friend and success coach Noah St. John, author of the brand new book, The Secret Code of Success

escapefromcorporate2.jpgThen allow me to introduce you to my friend Pamela Skillings, marketing communications expert and author of Escape from Corporate America (Ballantine, 2008). I first heard of Pam last Spring when her book was first released. Her husband Alex sent me an invitation to connect on Facebook, and then to join the Escape from Corporate America Facebook group. Being a corporate escapee myself, I joined right away.

Just about every day thereafter, I noticed Pam and her book getting amazing media coverage--in The New York Times, Forbes, Newsweek, just to name a few. Over the summer as I was winding down the writing stage of my book, I got in touch with Pam through Facebook, and she was incredibly helpful and generous with sharing information about the next part of the publishing process: the promotion and marketing stage.

Recently, we met for the first time over drinks in New York City's West Village (here we are at the bar at Sant Ambroeus). The interesting thing about meeting online friends in person is that you already have a running start. As my friend Ted Polmar of BizCircles used to say, "It takes the edge off." Not that there was any edge at all since Pam is totally cool. 
IMG_2696.JPG

It was great to compare notes, share ideas, and think about ways to support each other. When you work at a company, your coworkers are your default network, and there's always built-in opportunity to spend a few minutes at the water cooler or grab some lunch now and then. But when you work on your own, it's up to *you* to make the effort to find and build peer relationships. The good news is that places like Facebook make it so easy to find interesting, like-minded people, start conversations, and develop supportive relationships.

If you're thinking about making YOUR great escape, first of all, I highly recommend it (jump in, the water's great!), and second of all, you MUST get Pam's book. Then attend one of her workshops or sign up for a coaching session. Learn more about Pam on her website.
