 Even Better than the Original July 26, 2008

Some Assembly Required - A Networking Guide for Women (Pink) gives wonderful insight into how to establish and maintain business relationship. I liked the step by step instructions as well as the humorous stories. I read Some Assembly Required (Red) and definitely like the new "He Said - She Said" section as well as the FAQ. Women in the workplace run into a few different issues then men and Marny does a great job at explaining how to cope with them.
"The Rules" for Gals in the "Good Ol' Boys Club"? August 14, 2008

Actually, Thom and Marny's book isn't about how gals can break into the "Good Ol' Boys Club" at all. It's simply all about solid, proven networking skills, with some caveats on how things might work a bit differently for the estrogen enhanced crowd, and how to turn those differences into assets rather than liabilities. Some of it is standard fare for anyone honing their networking skills; introductions, name tags, follow up protocols. But the book also includes extras like who picks up the lunch tab for a networking meeting between opposite gender networkers, what to do when you are the only woman in the room at a networking event (even more fun than the elephant in the living room!), etc. An easy read and good advice with Thom and Marny - each proven, successful networking professionals -- providing different perspectives from both sides of the gender gap -- and bridging the gap while doing it.Some Assembly Required: A Networking Guide for Women
 Very Interesting Read January 31, 2009

I joined a book club at work and this was our first read. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion because it helped me to see I was not alone in my networking challenges.
Several of the women in the meeting had the same fears as I did and after discussing them we challenged ourselves even further. I also realized that in my daily life I'm already networking.
The information stored between the covers of this book can be used time and time again. No matter where you are in your career or personal life you will benefit from this guide. Discovering that women network differently than men was a little surprising. What was more surprising was finding out what networking is and is not.
Very interesting read
