Online Networking, with a Twist
A few months ago, I wrote enthusiastically about a networking event I had attended, called The Beehive Game, where each person had the opportunity to anonymously ask questions of the other members of the "hive" in order to collect leads for his or her business, names of suppliers for needed services, or other valuable contacts.
Since I work with clients all over Canada and the US, I was very excited to learn that Neworld Coaching has developed an online version of The Beehive Game, which will be launched on August 20th. For a yearly fee, each participant will be allowed to post one question per week (that’s 52 questions!) and the questions will be sent to all members on a daily basis. Since the questions are of the nature "Do you know someone who…" you need only click "yes" and the person who posted the question will get in touch with you for the contact information.
The opportunity to engage in this level of networking without having to leave home is very enticing - and will be even more so with the onset of winter. For more information about the Beehive Game Online as well as upcoming live events, visit the Neworld Coaching website.
Hi Janet,
Thank you so much for the kind words. We have had a tremendous response to the sign up for the Beehive Online and I know it will be a wonderful success! See you online on August 20th!
Mike
ps-we are coming back to Hamilton for Beehive “Live” very very soon!

I just received an email regarding this new beehive group. It sounds like a great networking tool.
