In the absence of body language, communication on the internet is largely
dependent on the spoken or written word, which for business communication is
precisely just what is necessary.
However, latest technological innovations have imitated a large part of
social life on computer programs that induced people to forego physical
interaction to a more convenient, cost-efficient and a lot exciting virtual

sites, online gaming and thousands of discussion boards and forums can easily
open the flood gates of profiles on your laptop that soon enough you would have
your own version of the United Nations.

It is entitled, “Morphing Into the Real World - The Handbook for Entering the Work Force,” the purpose of which is to educate our youth in terms of making the transition from the safety of Mom and Dad and schools, to the bitter realities of the real world. One of the key points I make time and again in the book is that people act on perceptions. These perceptions could be based on reality or on something imagined. In other words, we may perceive a situation correctly or incorrectly; right or wrong.
You want to grow your career or your business. You know that networking is the best way to connect with the people who will help you move ahead. You know you should look forward to networking events.
What you know does not help you prepare for the dread you feel as you get ready for another networking event. It’s hard just to remember the names, much less to make your pitch and identify real opportunities. You always end up feeling like you talked too much or too little.
