Review:

"Face-to-face networking is the most effective tool when it comes to uncovering the hidden job market and landing new employment. This book offers valuable insights for anyone interested in honing your networking skills." --John A. Challenger, CEO, Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.

"I couldn't put the book down once I'd started. A topic often talked about, but not addressed directly for executives. While I've considered myself a good networker, this book will give me tools to be a great one." --Linda Thrasher, former VP of Public Affairs, The Mosaic Company

"If you're in transition, you need this book. If you're working, you need this book. I would recommend this to emerging workers, folks in established jobs, people in transition and retired people entering a new phase of life. It works for everyone." --Cyndi Lesher, former CEO Northern States Power, an Xcel Energy Company

"A powerful, quick-learn focus on the misunderstood art of networking from people who know how to do it right--and professionally--for great results. This book is vital for any executive in transition." --Larry Miller, Senior VP of Human Resources, Starkey Hearing Technologies

"An excellent read. Many leaders waste valuable networking meetings, but The 20-Minute Networking Meeting demonstrates how to avoid this pitfall by illustrating what effective networking is, forcing you to look in the mirror while motivating you to improve your skills." --Mark Dalrymple, retired President of Schwan's Consumer Brands
