Networking is not a dirty word. I promise you - networking can be fun and easy. And much of it can be done from your couch with your PJ’s on. Who would have thought that?

In today’s episode, I share my 3 Deviant Strategies for Networking and I promise none of them has to do with a Chamber of Commerce Meeting.
