Thursday March 22,2012 was a great experience to speak\u00a0 to the Chinese Professionals Association\u00a0 in Toronto at the Jack Astor\u2019s in Downtown Toronto.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u00a0 was few months ago that I was at the same location attending a social media panel discussion on pros and cons of<\/strong> being on social media with Promod Sharma and Huge Reilly. \u00a0<\/strong>It was a evening with interesting discussion and thought provoking\u00a0 questions on how social media is evolving in the 21st<\/sup> century.<\/div>\n
Before and after the event we had opportunity to network and as I always say \u201cbe prepared for the opportunity\u201d you never know who you are going to meet. That evening I met Peter Zhou Young Professional Division Chinese Professionals Association of Canada. Peter and I had a great conversation on the art of networking and he was very interested in my book and how to become a networking success.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A few weeks later I got an invitation to speak for Peter\u2019s organization on how they coined \u201cBe A Networking Pro\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 –\u00a0 short, sweet and to the point, I like that!\u00a0\u00a0 We had some telephone and email communication with the public relations department of The Chinese Professionals Association to finalize the presentation.\u00a0 A request for some prizes were made.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It has been a busy week and I\u2019m looking forward to sharing networking insights and experiences with these young professionals.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As I arrived I was greeted by Peter Zou and James Shi, the master of ceremonies for the evening.\u00a0 They had a theatre style set up and I had contributed a portable screen for the presentation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They were expecting a solid attendance for the event and they arrived with enthusiasm and excitement. Introductions were made, and I was ready to share my experiences becoming a networking success.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I shared a brief article on \u201cThree Key Task To Success\u201d that I had written for my Alumni Centennial\u00a0 College, and the impact these strategies can make on their journey.\u00a0 Then I ventured into the system of becoming a networking success and shared the P-A-R system – simple and effective strategies to follow to create an effective system of communication and getting results in networking conversations (link is below on chapter available online).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I shared insights and experiences of how to use the P-A-R system and ways to create positive engagement, the art of communication language with technology (3-T\u2019s),\u00a0 and the ability to interpret non-verbal\u00a0 (handshake) and verbal communication.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Had a special guest speaker in Hyosum Kim\u00a0 from the Toronto Millionaire Mind Ambassadors\u00a0 talk about the book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker and the upcoming seminar happening on May 27-29 in Toronto. (see details below)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We had great Q & A session at the event where we talked about body language, how angles are important in networking, and how to deal with different networking situations. (see video link below)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another great experience I viewed\u00a0\u00a0 was a networking\u00a0 game the audience participated in for 30 minutes – it\u00a0 gave them the opportunity to learn, do and apply what they had learned.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There was a delicious dinner served at the end by Jack Astor\u2019s with assorted Nacho\u2019s and finger foods. We also had numerous participants approach me individually with comments and questions regarding networking and business, life and success.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Chinese Professionals Association of Canada has numerous events and initiatives that are promoted and their website is\u00a0 www.chineseprofessionals.ca<\/a>\u00a0 for more information.<\/div>\n
