show your interest in
them

Areas of Improvement for Promoters
Others’ Networking Style
YourNetworkingPersonality
Go-Getter Promoter Examiner Nurturer
Examiner
• Be willing to
introduce yourself
first to them, as
examiners tend to
wait for other to
introduce
themselves
• Keep the
conversation
focused on them
and their work
• When speaking
with them, speed
up your pace of
speech. If not Go-
Getters can get
bored with
conversations
easily
• Energy and a big smile
are key!
• Ask them many
questions about
themselves and be okay
with them talking for a
while
• Keep all conversation
very positive, upbeat
and light. Don’t be too
intense right at the
beginning
• Encourage each other
share more personal
information
• Watch out for how
opinionated you are on
a subject when first
meeting someone. It
may not be the
appropriate place to
offer those opinions
initially
• Look at meeting more
often at the start of a
new relationship to
move the process
forward faster..
• Be willing to talk
about more personal
items
• Try lengthening your
sentences to sound
more conversational
• Share with them more
about yourself. This
allows to get to know
you better.
Areas of Improvement for Examiners
Others’ Networking Style
YourNetworkingPersonality
Go-Getter Promoter Examiner Nurturer
Nurturer
• Dress to impress.
Go-Getters are
attracted to
success ad they
look at the way
someone looks
• While in
conversation with
them – ask them
very direct
questions – they
are okay with it!
• Find out why they
are at the event
and see if you can
help them gain the
results they are
looking for.
• Smile a lot! Promoters
are attracted to
positives, happy
people! :D
• Maybe talk a bit more
with your hands and be
a bit animated – only if
that works for you.
• Be sincerely interested
in them and share how
you think you might be
able to help them
• Have a more structured
conversation with an
Examiner. It will make
them feel incredibly
comfortable!
• Do keep your
conversation focused on
work (don’t get
personal)
• Ask direct questions
• Nurturers may spend
a great deal of time
chatting about
personal items. Once
you have the
connection, ask them
permission to talk
about work
• Mannerisms such as
pace, hand gestures
and tonality will be
very comfortable
between the two of
you. So no need to
change or do anything
differently.

  4. The website shows Niek Gooren - a multimedia designer - lying on a sofa eating crisps in his underwear. "As you read this, Niek is alone and jobless," it says. Along with his CV and a list of projects he's worked on, he explains that he'd be cheaper to employ because he doesn't take milk or sugar in his coffee. A graph shows how a company's creativity and sex appeal will be transformed by bringing him on board.

He received "about 50 offers" and could take his pick, he tells the paper. A new version of the website shows him lounging on an office chair with a bottle of bubbly. "As you read this, Niek is washing down his crisps with champagne," it says.
  5. The central premise of social capital is that social networks have value. How does social capital work? The term social capital emphasizes not just warm and cuddly feelings, but a wide variety of quite specific benefits that flow from the trust, reciprocity, information, and cooperation associated with social networks. Social capital creates value for the people who are connected and - at least sometimes - for bystanders as well. Robert D. Putnam is the Peter and Isabel Malkin Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University.
