A’s Net Pizza Crawl

A’s Netters recently gathered together for our 2nd pizza crawl, led by Rob Intelisano, President of Intelisano & Associates. Rob is knowledgeable and passionate about pizza, and our fantastic “eating experience” was coupled with education and stories about the places we visited. THIS is what makes Adrian’s Network different. We enrich and expand our relationship […]

Networking Mistakes You’ll Never Make Again

We’ve all stepped in it at one point or another! C’mon, don’t shake your head no. I know you’ve done it too.  Many of us consider ourselves to be fantastic networkers yet have made a networking blunder and lived to tell the tale. I know that I have and I’m here to share my embarrassments […]

Our Talented Members

Long-time A’s Netter Linda Turner is an art therapist and a visual artist. She creates some beautiful work, and I am happy to say that I am now the proud owner of one of her canvases. Supporting my fellow A’s Netters is important to me and to many in our community. After all, isn’t that […]

Networking Partners That Become Friends

Not all networking contacts become “real” friends, but when they do, it’s extra sweet. I recently had dinner with Barbara Feldman and learned more about A Nu Start (her business), and the explosive growth that she is enjoying right now. Barbara’s business was impacted by the pandemic, but she came back with a roar, and […]

Did You Know That I’m Invisible!

Did you know that I’m invisible? It’s so very interesting. I’m a keen observer of human behavior and interaction and as I have aged, I’ve noticed that I’ve become more and more invisible. Some of it is grand; some of it sucks. It’s grand: To not to get stupid comments on the streets of NY […]

Dinner and a Show and Networking, Too!

Six A’s Netters took to Broadway to check out MJ the Musical. The unanimous opinion was that was great fun and filled with incredible choreography and music. (Who would expect less from a show about Michael Jackson?) We started with dinner and spent the time sharing stories, getting closer, and building the trust and respect […]

Nothing Could Be Finer Than A Long Island Networking Dinner

There’s something very special about meeting in-person, sharing good food, drinking some wine, and getting down to business. That’s exactly what 9 members of Adrian’s Network did this week. Our regular gatherings are important, and serve to build stronger and more robust relationships.

Steal These Ways to Make Your Networking More Effective

The simple truth is there are some things you can do to get more substantive and positive outcomes from your networking endeavors. Play the game but play it right! And forget the cliché “givers get.” Not true. I know lots of givers that haven’t gotten anything ever. Instead: Develop a “real” relationship, not one based on BS and […]

Networking and Pizza. A Match Made in Queens

Our resident pizza columnist and scholar, Rob Intelisano (aka The Insurance Doctor), arranged a dinner at Beebe’s in Long Island City. 6 members of A’s Net shared a night of fabulous food, adult beverages, lively conversation, lots of laughs, with a wee bit of pizza education thrown in for good measure. We had a fabulous […]

Adrian’s Network Theater Outing

What fun! Broadway is back and last night a group of A’s Netters went to dinner and the theater. Good food, great conversation, information shared, laughs galore, and a good time was had by all. Who says networking has to happen on Zoom or in a conference room? Sharing experiences like going to dinner and […]
