So What's Your Story? Power Networking Tips & Techniques. “Nice day eh?” “Isn’t this weather something?” We have heard them all before … meaningless comments that are more likely to end a conversation than to advance it.

You Get Back What You Give: Power Networking Tips & Techniques. I recently noticed the often used saying “You Get Back What You Give” written in large letters on a roadside display board at a local church.
