Networking is all about keeping in contact with people and building relationships that are mutually beneficial to both parties. It's about helping others and I sincerely hope that this newsletter has helped each of you - even if just in a small way.

If not, please tell me how I can help you - ask a question for "Audie's Awesome Advice" or give me a suggestion on what topics you would like to see covered in the "Tips" section. This newsletter is for you! Read it, use it and share it. Most of all stay connected!

Beyond Networking - Hamilton needs a new location!

We are looking for a new spot to hold our Hamilton networking events. The room has to hold approximately 25 people, seated at tables, with additional space for display tables. Facility must either provide a screen or have a white/beige wall that we can project a PowerPoint slideshow on. Prefer to be able to bring in our own coffee & desserts.

Please click here to help us with the search!

Audie's Awesome Advice:

Audie asked a question on Health & Safety …

"If a small home business owner wants to hire an individual on a contract basis, what are the owner's responsibilities as far as WSIB?"

Judy Dulovic, HR Specialist, www.outsource-solutions.ca replies:

"If the person is working from your home, your homeowner's insurance policy would cover any accident. This situation has not yet been regulated by the government."

Ask me a question and I'll provide some awesome advice!

I invite our readers to share their success stories by emailing me at audie@marrek.com.

Tips

Things to Think About when Communicating with Others

1. It is all about the other person's perception of what is said, not about what you think/know you said.
2. 70% of all communication is screened, blocked or changed  by the person who hears it.
3. Meanings are not conveyed in a conversation - only words are.
4. What you say and the way you say it are two completely different things.
5. It is your responsibility to be clear and precise if you want your message to be perceived as you intended it to be.
