We discuss the importance of staying true to your values as a travel writer in everything that you do professionally. Kathy describes why when she approaches new publications or PR organizations to pitch a story, she always commits to spending real time in a place and understanding what it offers.

              Kathy Condon discusses networking strategies, including the finer points of starting conversations, asking questions, and the importance of listening.  Transcript:  Bill: Networking is a big thing these days, and a lot of people just don't know how to make small talk.  Kathy: That's why I tell people, come up with questions so they can start conversations. I'll share with you one of my best questions for anyone that you wanna get to know better. You look them in the eye, and you say, "tell me something great that happened to you lately." In order for the person to answer that question, they have to think of something great that happened to them, and the key here, is if you listen to the answer, you can easily ask another question. And the whole idea when you're out networking, is it's all about them, not about you. You know everything you know, what you want to do is, you want to learn about the other person.

Stand Up Speak Up

Face-To-Face Networking: It's All About Communication and newly released, It Doesn't Hurt to Ask by author Kathy Condon Unlike many books that recommend that you go to an event and collect as many cards as possible, the author is much more about the quality of interactions with people you meet than the quantity. For example at an event, she recommends spending an hour to meet three people. Contrast that with some of the frenetic networking events we have all been to that resemble business square dances. The author is all about the basics such as how to shake hands properly and how to wear a nametag for maximum impact. These are things you probably do not even think about, but can have a tremendous impact. Ms. Condon also makes a counter intuitive proposition: In this age of email and social networking, if you really want to make an impression send a hand written note. And no, don't fake it by using computer generated cards because the personal touch is what it is all about.
