On December 1, 2014 By James Potter - The Linked In Man
What is this concept of “going” networking? People feel the need to go to a place, a venue, a location or a collection of fellow “badge wearers” to be able to communicate to others.

Recommendations are like gold on LinkedIn
On November 11, 2013 By James Potter - The Linked In Man
There are so many “experts” and “masters” of subjects out there (often just because they say they are!) and sometimes they’re not!
