People love when other people are interested in them and they are asked about themselves and are listened to attentively and actively as they talk about themselves. The rest is commentary.

It goes something like “When I dined with Mr. Gladstone, I was convinced that he was the most fascinating person in the world, until I dined with Mr. Disraeli, who convinced me that I was.”

But what about when you can’t seem to get someone to talk about his/herself?

There a bit more to networking

Would it also be commentary to mention that the Yankees shit the bed this weekend? Probably. I can’t tell you how tickled I am by the Hank Steinbrenner era.
