All About Networlding Circles

Power –of-Ten Circles are practice circles of ten or fewer people who gather to learn and practice the seven steps of Networlding, These circles can be created by you or with support from those continuously signing up to join Networlding circles all over the world.

In the last eight years over 9000 people have gone through Networlding in on manner or another. We have also started circles in other parts of the country (Houston, Columbus, Washington, D.C.) and the world, including Japan, London and New Zealand! Meanwhile, circle participants are creating great new business opportunities and getting new and better jobs faster while having fun at the same time! In other words, people are realizing their visions through their relationships :

An Expanded List of the Benefits You Will Receive from the Networlding Power-of-Ten Circles
1.	Better business and/or career opportunities faster.
	How do we do this? By providing a structured process that shows you how to leverage relationships with top influencers and decision makers. Through the Power-of-Ten Circles we will show you how to connect your top values with those of others who have influence. Our values dictate why we do what we do (e.g. to make a difference, empower others, support our families, etc.). You also learn how to take your values and use them to find better career and business opportunities with companies and more specifically, people in companies, who hold similar and complimentary values. These are people you want to work with, do business with and build strong professional friendships.
2.	Access to a broader variety of new career and business opportunities.
	Extensive studies on human networks show that you achieve better results (more connections, ongoing creativity, better opportunities) when you have regular (at least monthly) communications (we call them Exchanges) with a small, diverse group of people. Through the Power-of-Ten Circles, we will show you how to build a powerful circle of people who can bring new and fresh perspectives to your business or career growth and for whom you can do the same.
3.	A much faster connection time to new opportunities.
	Want to know how you get better opportunities faster? The secret is setting up a "structured exchange." That's what Networlding offers. A skilled Networlding facilitator will provide you and your Power-of-Ten Circle with a powerful, connective experience of exchange.
4.	Continuous practice.
	Training in the area of networking for 14 years, I find that the number one need in building better sales or professional skills is to "practice, practice, practice!" Networlding circles allow you the opportunity to do this in a very safe environment. You will perform like a leader in your industry as you move from the level of beginner to expert in Networlding, finding yourself involved in deeper, more meaningful and productive conversations and relationships.
5.	More fun.
	I don't know about you but I find that we need more "fun" in our work. Networlding is, at its heart, a fun experience. People talk about their unique personal passions. That's what gets us up every morning. We also find most of the groups turn into friendship circles. They end up setting up picnics, parties and special outings.
6.	More and better tools to grow your business or your career.
	Were you ever handed a new book that offered you great success just by reading it and then you wondered, "What do I do with this?" For the past decade, since I co- wrote my first book, The Chicago Entrepreneurs Sourcebook, I have looked for better, accelerated process to show people how to achieve success in their businesses or careers. That’s why I created the Power-of-Ten Circles—to provide a place for you to practice Networlding and create your own Power-of-Ten Circle (your Extended Circle) where you leverage your business and or career very quickly and very effectively.
7.	Knowledge of and access to the most admired Networlding leaders.
	We are creating a database of the most admired Networlding leaders in some of the best companies in your city and around the world. From these leaders you will learn about the many people who value their employees and make it their part of their everyday agendas to realize their company vision through their relationships with their employees, customers, vendors, alliance partners and shareholders.
8.	Ongoing support.
	Once you join Networlding you will receive support from your Networlding Power-of-Ten Core Circle, your Networlding Power-of-Ten Extended Circle (you create after going through the Networlding steps for the first three to five sessions) and from any other Circles you choose to join.
