I believe that every conversation you have is an invitation to risk revealing the real you.

The currency of real networking is not greed but generosity.

In business, we often say that your best customers are the customers you have now. In other words, your most successful sales leads come from the selling you've already done.

You can't get there alone. In fact, you can't get very far at all.

We have a tendency to romanticize independence. Most business literature still views autonomy as a virtue, as though communication, teamwork, and cooperation were lesser values.

Our careers aren't paths so much as landscapes that are navigated. We're free agents, entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs -- each with our own unique brand.

You have to envision yourself winning to win.
