EP:014 Networking Expert, Dr. Ivan Misner: Passion, Connection, & Reinvention
Description
As the founder and chief visionary officer of BNI, the world’s largest business networking organization, Dr. Ivan Misner is masterful when it comes to connecting. He is called the “Father of Modern Networking” by CNN and one of the “Top Networking Experts to Watch” by Forbes. His explosive organization has expanded to more than 7,000 chapters nestled in nearly every continent of the world.
His latest book, Avoiding the Networking Disconnect: The Three R’s to Reconnect, is just one of more than 20 publications under his repertoire. Add to his credit his featured columns sprawling across both FOX Business and Entrepreneur.com, and you might agree he knows a thing or two about stellar success strategies. In this insider interview, Dr. Misner reveals how he built a global empire, in addition to sharing his tips on productivity and the “VCP’s” of relationship building in today’s social economic climate.
Key takeaways:
- Work the room and automatically connect with people – one-on-one or within a group – by asking these EXACT questions.
- Act from a place of passion to ignite your life by giving every task and/or opportunity a “wax or flames” test.
- Learn the history behind BNI, its evolution, and why channeling reinvention in one’s career is a prime necessity.
- Power up your productivity and your work calendar, while heeding the dangers associated with skipping from one obligation to another (that is, without truly uncovering what works most efficiently).
- Embrace the “gold standard” of one very tried and true process: Visibility, Credibility, Profitability (VCP).
