Publisher Comments:

This is the fully revised and updated edition of the ground–breaking self–help book on improving communicating and socializing skills in business and life. How To Work A Room lays down the fundamentals for savvy socializing, whether at a party, a conference, or even communicating online. RoAne clearly shows how to overcome the five roadblocks that keep most people from making new contacts; mix chutzpah and charm to start and end conversations smoothly; know when to use humor––and when not to; and follow simple rules of etiquette. Incorporating years of feedback from hundreds of presentations, as well as anecdotes from around the globe, RoAne keeps How To Work A Room fresh and on target. New chapters include: strategies starting, maintaining, and exiting conservations; and advice on commutating effectively in today's tech driven world.

I am about one-third of the way through the book. Although I'm a veteran of many networking events, I wanted to see if this book might have some advice that I've not thought to employ. So far, I'm pleased. There are a few suggestions that even seasoned networkers might have overlooked. The book is written in a light, accessible style. More importantly, it focuses on *actions,* not abstractions. I recommend this book for the novice networker particularly, but even more experienced folks will derive some benefit.
