Networking 2 Mastermind and Support Groups

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Yes at that conference the lady sitting next to you became your best contact. She had lots of ideas that you needed to hear. (Please read the previous blog)…now on to point 2)

Yep, its tourqoise

Yep, its tourqoise

A confernece can be great because it takes you away from aroutine, you meet many people and can connect with top professionals in your field. They are relatively short and intense.

2) Mastermind and support groups. These groups require an on-going committment. You may need to optimize your highest listening and communication skills. They are an on-going more time intensive investment. Unlike a 12 week class (which is also good for networking) you may not be able to hide as easily.

These groups offer many benefits and take a variety of forms. I will expand on these ideas at a future date. The matermind group ideally will be comprised with at least one person with more experience than yourself, and others focused on similar tasks at you are. Everyone will be somewhat task oriented and homework: project assignments are a must. Thus each week everyone will be accountable for reporting back on progress.

Everyone won’t necessarily succeed every week, but everyone will create habits that move them along clearly, and hopefully tangibly toward their project completion.

Support groups usally function quite differently. THey may include a mix group of people from many fields. They may be more feeling oriented and concerned with your process. Be careful not to underate the power and what you will learn from these groups. The informal nature and personal committment to you may provide the comfort zone you need to approach many projects in your life. SOmeone there too may know the perfect person for you to professionally connect with. They may help you feel more confident so that you are ready to move ahead. They help you relieve stress or writing blocks.

Choos a group that is right for you. You don’t have to met every week, once a month may fit what everyone can do. Find multiple ways you can network and do them often. You will be glad you did.

I would love it if you leave comments and add resources here. Thanks!

What is your networking Quotient?

Monday, August 3rd, 2009
in the distance sky still sings  photo by Mary MacIntyre

in the distance sky still sings photo by Mary MacIntyre

What is your networking quotient? How often do you connect with people who can support your goals? How many times a year do you meet with other professionals in your field?

Whether you a new beginning writer, or someone who had a vital publishing career, reviewing your networking quotient might prove benefical. Often in our complex busy lives, we arrive at point where we 1) want to be totaly introspective and reclusive. 2) Sum up that we have already been there and done that 3) No longer need support.

Yes we may need just all of the above for a short time. We also need to be able to connect and make new contacts to keep our professional pursuits vitally potent. Professionals pursue multiple avenures to acoomplish effective networking.

1) Conferences. Go to these events. You may meet famous writers, you may meet a good agent or publiher. You may become inspired to write more. You may find a new market or additional ideas how to build on the the market you are in. Your confidence and curoiity may increase.

You may find the biggest surprize connection comes not from the famous folks, but from the lady sitting next to you at breakfast.

I am going to continue this in the next blog or two….

This award-winning cookbook was brilliantly orchestrated by the Ravinia Festival Women’s Board as a way to raise money for music scholarships and the venerated music festival. This harmonious collection of more than 600 recipes is the result of three years of collecting, testing, tasting, collating, and indexing. These dishes stand the test of …

Since 1904, Ravinia has been Chicago’s “sound of summer,” a place where you can meet up with your friends, have a wonderful time and hear some of the greatest music in the world. We’ve got stars on the stage and stars in the sky, and it’s all within your reach. But there’s more to Ravinia than merely the world’s greatest music. For as many people who walk through Ravinia’s gate each summer, there are just as many ways to enjoy what we call “The Ravinia Experience.” For some, it all starts with a picnic picked up along the way, followed by a hop on the train and greeting your friends at your favorite spot on the lawn. Gradually, day turns into evening, and from the comfort of your perfect lawn spot, it culminates in a great concert by candlelight as you gaze at the stars above.

NM thriller honored at Florida film festival
Fat Man Media, a New Mexico-based film production company, received the award for Best Drama at the Motion Film Festival, a Tampa, Florida-based festival dedicated to making an investment into the art community, for its short film On the Bus. It was written and produced by Jonathan Harnisch and Maureen Cooke, and directed by Willie Ford. “We are pleased to receive the award for Best Drama at the Motion Film Festival for On the Bus,” said Jonathan Harnisch, executive producer for Fat Man Media. “The amount of national attention On the Bus has received from film festivals has been remarkable and we are very proud of the awards and honors the film has received.”
Earlier this year, “On the Bus” was awarded five “Indie” awards including Award of Excellence for the film, Award of Excellence for its Lead Actor Mark Schrier, Award of Merit for directing, and two Awards of Merit for writing. “On the Bus” also received three awards at The Accolade Film Festival including Award of Excellence for Actor Mark Schrier, Award of Merit for directing, and Award of Merit for editing.
“On the Bus” is a psychological thriller about the experiences of Larry (played by Mark Schrier), a mentally disturbed man, who rides a bus and bothers passengers based on recent circumstances in his life. The film has a surprise ending that startles the audience, but ties the fragmented story together in a dramatic conclusion.

In Heavenly Places, Treva Langston has always felt inferior, thanks to her mother. She at least found her worth in a successful career; well, until it was gone. Now her life has suddenly been turned upside down. Without her high-powered job, she has returned with her family to her hometown and to all the memories of heartache she desperately fought to escape. Worse, she’s near her mother again, who hasn’t changed one bit. Beset with feelings of unworthiness, she’s filled with despair until her sister coaxes her into a women’s home Bible study. Though Treva resists and quits a couple of times, she comes to learn the importance of family, the blessing of friendship, and the powerful truth that conquers a lifetime of lies. To every woman who has ever doubted that she is fearfully and wonderfully made, this novel and virtual book and podcast tour is just for you!

In From Dusk to Dawn, Ayo Montgomery’s and Bilal Salaam’s first meeting was as explosive as a lightning storm. The verbal showdown that erupted between them should have been the end of them; if they couldn’t manage a civil conversation with one another, how could they possibly fall in love? But they do fall in love deeply and completely. However, in fiction as in real life, the course of even the greatest love never runs smooth. Bilal and Ayo make it through the minefield of differences in age, faith and family opposition, only to face an unexpected challenge and the greatest threat to their future together. For one of them love means letting go, but for the other, it means holding on – against all odds.

In Heavenly Places, Treva Langston has always felt inferior, thanks to her mother. She at least found her worth in a successful career; well, until it was gone. Now her life has suddenly been turned upside down. Without her high-powered job, she has returned with her family to her hometown and to all the memories of heartache she desperately fought to escape. Worse, she’s near her mother again, who hasn’t changed one bit. Beset with feelings of unworthiness, she’s filled with despair until her sister coaxes her into a women’s home Bible study. Though Treva resists and quits a couple of times, she comes to learn the importance of family, the blessing of friendship, and the powerful truth that conquers a lifetime of lies. To every woman who has ever doubted that she is fearfully and wonderfully made, this novel and virtual book and podcast tour is just for you!

On The Air features Niambi Brown Davis, author of From Dusk to Dawn

On The Air welcomes the Against All Odds Virtual Book Tour!

Tune in to hear new author, Niambi Brown Davis, talk about her romance novel, From Dusk to Dawn, and Virtual Book Tour with host, Marlive Harris!

May 13, 2008 edition of On The Air with Niambi Brown Davis [38:18m]: Hide Player | Play in Popup | Download

In From Dusk to Dawn, Ayo Montgomery’s and Bilal Salaam’s first meeting was as explosive as a lightning storm. The verbal showdown that erupted between them should have been the end of them; if they couldn’t manage a civil conversation with one another, how could they possibly fall in love? But they do fall in love deeply and completely. However, in fiction as in real life, the course of even the greatest love never runs smooth. Bilal and Ayo make it through the minefield of differences in age, faith and family opposition, only to face an unexpected challenge and the greatest threat to their future together. For one of them love means letting go, but for the other, it means holding on – against all odds.
