Lesson from a Wedding

A recent wedding reminded me of several things when it comes to networking.

• You are not the center of attention. In this case, the bride and groom.
• Ask, don't talk. Conversations should be give and take and more asking than telling.
• Be polite. Have manners. Say please and thank you. don't talk with your mouth full.
• Know when the evening is over. While you can have a good time, all good things come to an end. Don't overstay your welcome.

These ideas are simple, but effective. While it may be overstating the obvious, we all need to remember why we are in a place and what we should (or shouldn't) be doing. So, go, have a good time. And meet and enjoy people.
