Networking to Success, Thurs Period 2 (7/10/08)
"Welcome to Networking to Success," Nathan said. "I'm your teacher, Nathan Petrelli. You can call me Mr. Petrelli. We've got a nicely small class this time around so please feel free to take advantage of that by letting me know if there's anything you'd like to focus on.
"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. Also, when you introduce yourself to me let me know what you'd like to get out of the class.
"I'm here if you have questions. Or you can talk to Lana, who's the TA."
[OCD is up!]
