Build your dream network by j. kelly hoey
What to read this month to nourish the corporate mind and soul
Kelly Hoey, a networking expert, business columnist, angel investor and startup mentor, says networking is everywhere. It’s in your email signature line, voice mail message, head shot in a social media profile and your invoice. The Victoria native, now based in New York, says her message isn’t just for those eager to advance their careers but also for anyone looking to crowdfund a venture dependent on the support of a network. Hoey offers other insights, including how to turn every encounter into a networking opportunity and how to control the effort and not the outcome. TarcherPerigee $30 (hardcover); amazon.com
