She... in this case, is me. And you might not know me... yet. Feel free to voyeur on my LinkedIn profile. And let's connect.

In a nutshell, I help people get more business, more connections, and more satisfaction from their networking and from their network.

At the ripe old age of 53 I have experience and insights worth sharing. What I like about publishing, whether it be a book or a newsletter or an email, is that I can share my knowledge with and impact more people.

So in this, my first LinkedIn newsletter, I thought I would share a little bit of information on the books I've written or contributed to. All three of the books I've written have been bestsellers. That's because they all have incredible information to help people. Here they are.

'Building the Ultimate Network' was written in 2011, and I was a co-author with some incredible and inspiring people. I didn't even know it was being written predominantly by BNI Executive Directors across the world. At the time I was a brand new member of BNI in Australia and I simply responded to a video post on Facebook that asked something like... So you want to be a bestselling author? I did and I am and I still use the tips and advice offered in that book. In fact, it might be time to read it again.

'Stop Wasting Your Time Networking' is my own creation and was born from the fact that I truly believe good strategic marketing knowledge combined with a networking strategy enables one (that's you) to make stronger impressions and to grow a larger and more robust network. I've seen too many business people attend event after event with little or no results. It's a waste of time and I know we can do better.

'Winning With Core Values' is the latest publication and was co-written with some incredible Australian Executive Directors in BNI. I believe all business owners should really take the time to understand their own core values and that they should align themselves with clients, suppliers, and organisations that share those core values. (Content alert: I'll write an article later about what my core values are and how I look for synergies when I'm networking.)

All of this is to say that it makes perfect sense for me to publish a newsletter here on LinkedIn to share my insights and knowledge with you. If you're one of those people that doesn't get the results you want out of in-person networking events, then this newsletter is going to be one you'll enjoy.

Welcome. See you next week! WLC.
