Anyone who finds themselves more comfortable texting the person sitting next them, or emailing the co-worker in the next cubicle or super-glued to a chair at an event will learn painless and sure-to-not-backfire ways to connect with people, even work a room full of strangers in “Face-to-Face Networking, It’s All About Communication”.

Though she is an avid user of social media, author Kathy Condon maintains that face-to-face contact is more important than ever in the digital age. “Your contacts are one of your most valuable assets for your business and personal life,” says Kathy. “A handshake, a hand written note, or a phone call today has a much larger impact then it did in the past,”  “These simple, personal actions make a person feel special and can go a long way.”

Solutionz Live! Business Edition- Hosted by Chicke Fitzgerald, CEO Solutionz, with guest Carolyn Hudson.The original interview was 5.26.09.

After receiving enthusiastically positive feedback at a Soho workshop, acting as lead singer in a band and dabbling in writing her own music, Carolyn decided to take her newfound talent to the next level by releasing a jazz/pop album called "Living In My Skin," which ended up as a "Top 20 Album of 2006" on Indie-Music.com. While she is continuing work on her second album, Hudson's latest foray into creativity has unearthed a special talent for jewelry-making. Her pieces - more art than neckwear - are exhibited under the name "Cleo VII," an homage to the infamous Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. She describes her work as designs for "the sensual modernist who draws attention" and relies heavily on architecturally interesting organic shapes (like shells) embellished with bits of classic accents, including pearls, rhinestones, glass, silver, silk and suede.

In Pursuit of Elegance: Why the Best Ideas Have Something Missing. In this thought-provoking exploration of why certain events, products, and people capture our attention and imaginations, Matthew E. May examines the elusive element behind so many innovative breakthroughs in fields ranging from physics and marketing to design and popular culture. Combining unusual simplicity and surprising power, elegance is characterized by four key elements—seduction, subtraction, symmetry, and sustainability. In a compelling, story-driven narrative that sheds light on the need for elegance in design, engineering, art, urban planning, sports, and work, May offers surprising evidence that what’s “not there” often trumps what is.
