Networking to Success: Wed, Period 1 (5/14/08)

Nathan? Wearing a suit and tie as always.

"Welcome to Networking to Success," Nathan said. "I'm your teacher, Nathan Petrelli. You can call me Mr. Petrelli. That includes those of you who may have a more... informal relationship with my brother, Peter." Why no, he wasn't looking at anyone in particular here. Not at all.

"Unless you're hoping to live the life of a hermit, you're going to need to know how to network. That is, you're going to need to meet people, make a good impression, learn how you can help them and how they can help you.

"With today's class we're going to start with the basics." Nathan grinned. "This is one of the few classes where introducing yourself actually is part of the cirriculum. But we are going to put a spin on it."

Nathan passed around a handout. "Handshakes are an important part about introducing yourself. As you can see, how you shake hands can make or break your first impression. So I want you to go around and introduce yourselves to one another. That's name and a fact about yourself. Doesn't have to be fancy. Where you're from or your favorite hobby is fine. Do all that with a handshake and let the other person do the same to you. Try to get as many people as you can. The more you learn this week will help you with next week.

"I'm here if you have questions. Or you can talk to Lana, who's the TA."

"Awww, I like Hoshi!" Turtle said with a nod, and a little bit of a blush that was no body's business, thank you very much. "She's good people. I'm in Andromeda, myself, you should swing by some time! I've been here so long that my big sister, Buffy, doesn't go here anymore, but Kaylee's my little sister this time around. And Ella's my new roommate. They're all really nice people, too."

"And I'll try to swing by Draco at some point, too," Turtle nodded, and smiled.
