Networking Expert Martijn Aslander about the new networked world

No interview with a fellow networking expert this time (but watch this blog in the future for an interview with him), but a link to a very interesting speech of Martijn Aslander.

Martijn lives a very extraordinary life completely built on the idea of a network that helps and reinforces itself.

Watch and listen to these thought provoking ideas and the explanation of how Martijn makes his money: http://vimeo.com/6858692 (in English; 50 minutes but worth the time)

Have a great networking week !

Interview with Fred Krautwurst, founder of Netpluswork and Red Peppers

In this post I interview Fred Krautwurst, founder of Netpluswork and Red Peppers. These are two organisations which bring business people together in breakfast and dinner sessions in the Netherlands. Fred is also a speaker about networking himself, author of 3 networking books (so far) and organiser of the Landelijke Netwerkdag.

He invited me as a speaker at this last event and there we had the opportunity to talk a little bit further. I was happy to have the chance to pull him away for 9 minutes and ask him for his top 3 tips about networking.

Hear all about them in this interview with Fred Krautwurst.

Interview with Alan Stevens, the Media Coach

I already wrote in this blog that I have met some great colleague speakers from all over the world at the PSA Holland Convention in March.
