A View from the Top with Joyce Grillo
Since this is my first article as a featured columnist to the National Networker what better way to begin than by first telling you how “networking” helped me meet Adam J. Kovitz, CEO, Founder and Publisher of The National Networker.
My client Frank Kovacs (www.thebreakfastclubnj.com) was telling me about how he started an online service to help people find better job opportunities through the power of networking. He was preaching to the choir. It was music to my ears since this was one client I would not have to coach on how to build relationships. I went on to tell him that I was interested in doing more public speaking and writing on the topics of leadership and development and that he should keep me in mind when meeting new people and hearing of possible opportunities for me.
I didn’t anticipate an immediate response and was pleasantly surprised when right then and there he told me about Adam and The National Networker and insisted that I should meet him. Not being shy, I immediately called Adam and left him a message mentioning my client’s name and nothing more than my client thought he and I should meet. Being the consummate relationship builder, Adam returned my call and over a period a few weeks we have had a number of conversations about my work as a leadership consultant and executive coach.
I was in total agreement with his philosophy that Relationship Capital and Financial Capital should be looked at in the same way. Fast-forward to this moment writing my inaugural article and the rest is history. Thanks to Adam for giving me this opportunity and thanks to my client for referring me to Adam. And, more importantly, thanks to the power of Relationship Capital. I’m looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship as a contributing editor to The National Networker. Stay tuned…
