International Networking Day (IND) is coming. What are your plans?

This is an initiative started by Dr. Ivan Misner 5 years ago. Dr. Misner is the founder of BNI. Have a look at the video to learn about International Networking Day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuhRnlki088

I’m honoured to be presenting at two IND events. One is being hosted by Jennifer Beale in Toronto; the other is hosted by Deborah Foster-Stahle in Collingwood. Both events represent what I love most about IND; business people networking.

This is the 5^th year Jennifer is hosting an IND event. Her events are extremely well-thought out and bring together an extensive group of experts. Have a look at www.BizNETWORKnews.com to see exactly who’s presenting. If you haven’t yet seen Donna Messer in action – you don’t want to miss her! She has one of the most unique, dynamic networking approaches I have ever seen.

Then I’m off to Osler Bluffs where BNI Executive Director Deborah Foster-Stahle is hosting NetSki Day. This is an incredibly innovative networking event. Skiing at a private club and honing your networking skills. What a great Canadian combination!

You can check out Deborah’s event at www.bnicanada.ca, click on events.

You may not be able to attend both events (even I’m a bit anxious about getting from one to the otherJ) but, I invite you to celebrate IND by joining me at one if you can.

If you can’t attend either event, celebrate the day by re-connecting with someone in your network who you think you can help. Strong business referrals come from strong relationships and strong relationships come from helping each other.
