2009...Beginning January 2009, we will host an online-career related book club, where participants can share their thoughts and relevant experience, and raise questions. If technology works in our favor, we will be up and running the third Thursday of each month...stay tuned!
January 15 - Topic: the art of networking from a sales perspective. "Connecting is all about your friendliness, your ability to engage, and your willingness to give value first. When you combine those three attributes, you will have uncovered the secret of powerful connections that lead to RIH relationships," quotes Jeffrey Gitomer, author of Little Black Book of Connections, 6.5 Assets for Networking Your Way to RICH Relationships. The end of each chapter offers nuggets of information on-line at http://www.gitomer.com/
February 19 - Topic: choosing public service careers. By this date, the outcomes of an exciting presidential and legislative election season will be done. Let's discuss a book hot off the press, touted as "a remarkable look at contemporary politics and an essential foundation for understanding the future of American democracy," in an editorial review by amazon.com. Fueled not by protest for change as their parents but through access to education and choice; The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama by Gwen Ifill, examines four young African Americans who chose public service to fuel change.
