International/Global Networking has taken on an
entirely new and important meaning over the past decade. Today we live in a 24/7 environment - our
blog site are view globally is just one of many enterprises that has worldwide
exposure.

Networking has always been an important means of
communication both in the business and personal worlds. Doctors, Vets,
mechanics, appliance and home repair are a small sample of our network.

As an exercise several years ago, our customer asks
that each person on the team, build their “network (bubble) environment.” Collectively we white-boarded a couple to
ensure we were on the right track – then each member went away to develop their
“network environment.” The results were very interesting as we began reaching
out beyond the first couple of layers and discovered just how far out we can
reach people. That was what the customer wanted – for us to understand our reach. I still have mine somewhere in my files.

Today, the Internet has significantly increased our
capabilities to network – Facebook, Twitter, Groups, Linkedin, Trade
associations and groups, newsletters, blog sites and the list goes on and
on.

I personally find all of this exciting – how lucky
folks are to have all these marvelous tools available – especially the younger
people. Where will be ten years from
now?
