NOTE FROM NEAL

As a Windmill Networker, a term which you will learn a great deal about in my next book, I am always interested in new relationships and helping people better utilize LinkedIn, Twitter or any other Social Media to meet their needs.  The more people that use Social Media for more things, the more beneficial it is to everyone’s network, including my own.  With that in mind, as a reminder, if we are not already connected, please feel free to invite me to your network by accessing my profile information below.  Thank you!  I am sure that there is mutual benefit in joining each others networks!

In parting, I am a humble lifelong learner and am interested in your questions about LinkedIn, Twitter, Windmill Networking, et. al. as well as what your experiences have been.  Please feel free to comment on my blog or directly send me an email with your comments.  Thank you!
