It was terrific meeting A’s Netter, Yvonne Dam, for dinner last night. Yvonne is visiting New York City and having client meetings and networking get-togethers. I met Yvonne through LinkedIn so if you don’t think that being active on LinkedIn can benefit YOU, I beg to differ. PS The restaurant was great and the view […]
Last night was another fabulous networking evening with some of the A’s Net community. While we certainly do Zooms and IRL in conference rooms and such, we also enjoy social networking events such as walking tours, pizza crawls, dumpling making sessions, theater and concert outings, trips to some of New York City’s fabulous museums, and […]
Mari Vanna is a terrific Eastern European restaurant in Manhattan. We had an A’s Net dinner there about 6 months ago and I recently decided to make a repeat visit with some of our members. What a great night. Excellent conversation while having spectacular food is MY way of networking and it seems to work […]
Thank you Rob Intelisano 1. Adrian– need I say more! 2. International contacts for travel & business– for ex I met Alberto Zuppi (former Argentina Minister of Justice) at his A-net book signing (Yes, he signed one for me) and he took me out when in Buenos Aires at a life insurance convention. 3. Culture and Social Events– Attended […]
Our eagerly anticipated pool party at Christina Shaw’s home (www.imwithshaw.com) was canceled due to rain, but our networking continued. Lunch in Christina’s kitchen, a thousand + laughs, lots of connecting, and awesome conversation made for an extremely pleasant afternoon. Nothing can stop us; certainly not a little rain!
Once more, members of Adrian’s Network broke the networking mold and decided that attending a baseball game would be the perfect place to strengthen our business and personal bonds. We had beautiful weather and best of all, the Mets won! Personally, I felt like a winner too, because I got to spend the evening with […]
People often tell me I’m someone who “knows everyone.” I’m flattered to hear this, of course, but it isn’t true. Not even close. Sometimes I even think this is an excuse to avoid introducing me to others, an easy escape since I know everyone and there are no more introductions or connections to make. It […]
It makes sense, right? People enjoy being social, breaking bread, sharing stories and so Adrian’s Network provides these opportunities regularly. Dinner and lunch meetings, cocktail get-togethers that grow into more than just drinks, events at people’s homes (learning how to make dumplings at Christina’s Shaw’s place comes right to mind!), pizza crawls (thank you Rob […]
Sharing a meal is one of the best ways to bond, build relationships, and enjoy learning about business opportunities. I have to believe that the members of Adrian’s Network fully get the concept, and don’t miss an opportunity to break bread and make new friends as well as grow existing relationships. If you’re reading this, […]
A networking lunch at a waterfront restaurant complete with a blood-orange margarita. Sound perfect? It was. I love networking in a casual environment, where the conversation flows easily and the laughs are loud. A great lunch with Stephanie Larkin, Founder of Red Penguin Books.
