Power Networking

Think of networking as community building. Visualize community as all persons within the area connected to each other, directly or indirectly, like a huge spider web. Communities gain strength when the connections are conscious, concrete and constructive. Look for linkages everywhere – in opposing ideologies and approaches, as well as in complementary ones. Each one’s success or failure impacts us all.
