We all hear about the importance of networking. How many of us know what it actually means? Assembling a list of people you know, going to meetups, and connecting with strangers on Facebook or LinkedIn (or any of the other myriad social networks available to us) is great, but will it help you achieve your goals? Do you even know what your goals for networking are?

J. Kelly Hoey built a dream network and that network encouraged her to write a book about it. Within short order, “Build Y our Dream Network” went into a second printing, so her network evidently knew what it was talking about. In this FIR Interview, Shel Holtz chats with Kelly (who was a panelist on FIR #72) to talk about dream networks, how to build them, and what you’ll get out of her book.

FIR Interviews are sponsored by Thornley Fallis, an integrated communications agency.
