More About This Book

Overview

This is the fully revised and updated edition of the ground–breaking self–help book on improving communicating and socializing skills in business and life. How To Work A Room lays down the fundamentals for savvy socializing, whether at a party, a conference, or even communicating online. RoAne clearly shows how to overcome the five roadblocks that keep most people from making new contacts; mix chutzpah and charm to start and end conversations smoothly; know when to use humor––and when not to; and follow simple rules of etiquette. Incorporating years of feedback from hundreds of presentations, as well as anecdotes from around the globe, RoAne keeps How To Work A Room fresh and on target. New chapters include: strategies starting, maintaining, and exiting conservations; and advice on commutating effectively in today's tech driven world.

    Outdated

    The book is well-written for it's time, which is early 2000. Technology requires updates every 2-3 years, especially when it comes to how we communicate. So, if you're interested in the newest and most effective (as opposed to old-fashioned) methods of networking, I suggest getting the latest edition of this book.

    Mission NOT impossible...

    Being able to walk into a room with confidence is so important. And wouldn't it be nice if folks recognize your name and face when you make that entrance. Assuring that our accomplishments are visible to targeted audiences is part of 'personal publicity.' If we want people to hire us, buy from us, and invest in our companies, they have to know who we are, what we have accomplished and why they should do business with us! And...when we do walk into that room...we won't be strangers!

    The Ultimate Guide to Networking!

    Susan RoAne has done it again. In her latest (and I think greatest version) of How to Work A Room, she delivers tons of common sense woven with her trademark zingers and dynamite sense of humor. You'll learn savvy techniques for working through a huge crowd or a small room--in person or online. This book belongs in both personal and professional career growth libraries.
