How do you create purposeful community connections? One handshake at a time! At the California Park and Recreation Association District II Workshop I present this simple idea to both young and veteran park and recreation professionals. While email, social media and texting seem to be replacing face-to-face, spoken and "shared space" communication; it's time to brush off our good old-fashioned networking skills and put them to work. I admit the ideas shared in this session things most have hear before or read at some point in time. But the key to networking isn't in knowing best practices; it's in practicing the be the best.
Here are the expanded handouts mentioned at the workshop. Use them to build a better networking practice in 2013 and keep me posted as you become a Power Schmoozer!
