Love me regardless of my past
Spend time with me, just
because they enjoy my
company
Speak well of me when I am
not in the room
Speak the truth to me when
no one else will
Never shame me, diminish
me, or make me feel small

am excited about
Celebrate my victories!

Allow me to be myself, and
love me for it

Raise your hand if you have been networking this weekend. Let’s watch this video and see how it relates to your experience.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j1nHdURKgE – businessmen networking [kids in the hall]What did you notice? How was the video like your networking experiences? Different?
We network because we cannot do everything alone – we need help from othersAnd WHO helps us matters – true friends find great fulfillment in helping one another. No strings attached.We network to build relationships.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3afZip4BTRcWe separate our professional and personal worlds, but it is our friends who are most willing to help us when we need itFacebook has expanded our meaning of “friend,” but each of us has only a few people who gives unconditional love, will try to help right now, seeks to empower us…
This is what we want in our friends… review and on the next slide, brainstorm your friends
Courage is one of our values… how do you know what you want to become?
Blogging is awesome for meeting people who share your interests.
Having a Facebook profile is no longer an advantage when it comes to networking; it’s a disadvantage if you don’t use it. Yeah, Facebook is for fun. But it will also help you get a job, or a tip if you’re a journalist, or a lead on a new apartment. Because if you’re on Facebook, you’re easy to find. And if you post even once in a while — just fun stuff about your life — your friends won’t forget about you. They’ll think of you when opportunities arise.
