This afternoon I facilitated a session on Networking IRL (In Real Life) for Young Professionals of Central Virginia. Here’s my slide deck. I’d love to know what you think.

Hi Cheryl — thanks for sharing your slide deck with us! I'll be perusing it for weekend reading ;) .. It's great to connect via High Callings Blog. Thankful for the connection.

Thanks also for sharing your thoughts on keeping desire lit earlier this week on Faith Barista. It's great to share something in common (I posted a reply).. :)

I love the reminder that social media is not about us. Baby kissing himself in the mirror. Indeed. And yet, I liked that image balanced with the opening image of the man straightening his tie in the mirror. We can know others unless we at least try to know ourselves.

Good to see you over here, Faith Barista Bonnie!

I think self awareness plays a huge role in our ability to help others. We have to know our strengths (and weaknesses), our connections, our accomplishments and be able to articulate those in a way that lets others understand what we're about. Likewise, we have to ask questions that help us uncover that information about others if we want to really help them. IRL, that happens quickly. Maybe in social media that happens over time.

My favorite networking story? Jennifer Dukes Lee joined HCB, then stumbled onto Jim Schaap's blog, then GOT HIRED to teach at his university because of that contact.

That is so cool. We should have Jennifer write about it for HCB.

Great idea! I'll double check with her and see what she thinks.

I love those stories. I have a friend here in Lynchburg who is on twitter. One of her Twitter connections on the west coast made an introduction to a professor at UVA where she is working on her PhD and now she's working closely with that professor. Cool stuff!

Thanks so much. Looks great. Looking forward to spending a little more time on High calling blogs this weekend. I also loved your Valentines post.
