Networking is my secret weapon, and I mean both kinds. I've built my career on the technologies of networking computers - Ethernet, Internet - but I would still be a voice crying in the wilderness had I not learned the technologies of networking people. I learned networking the hard way, at one gruesome party after another. You can learn it the easy way with Diane Darling's book."
Bob Metcalfe - Ethernet inventor, 3Com founder, InfoWorld columnist, and Polaris partner
"Anyway you look at it, other people are your greatest resource. Diane Darling's in-depth, easy-to-follow instructions will fill your life with opportunities to meet these people and reap the rewards."
Nicholas Boothman, Author of How to Make People Like you in 90 Seconds or Less and How to Connect in Business in 90 Seconds or Less
Diane is the embodiment of contradictions:
- An introvert who teaches networking skills (the people kind)
- A small town girl from the Midwest who has traveled to all seven continents and about 60 countries
- A college educated, published author who lived in the YWCA and she found herself deeply in debt after a business failure and family difficulties
In 2003 Diane realized she needed to make a difficult decision. Reluctant to declare bankruptcy but facing significant debt after a business failure significantly due to 9/11, she gave up her apartment. In 2006 after some less-than-sane living situations, she quietly moved into the YWCA. She focused on paying off the debt and getting back on her feet.
Now she is debt free, sharing a house with roommates, and saving for a condo. She's looking forward to the time she has a home.
On March 6, 2009 she shared the front page of the Boston Globe with the President of the United States. He was above the fold, she was below sharing her story of resilience and challenges. It's a message graduates need to hear. Life will have it's ups and downs!
