Networking in the South

Southern Bid-ness and where you from?

Today we talk about being southern and what that means.

Southern Bidness and the 'Naug-o-ration'

Very exciting day, and there is a short lesson for networking. When discussing the delicate matter of race, one must be clear. My message today is about the hope that we can continue to progress into a post-racist society and that our new president is just one more step in that direction.

By the way, this is a day late due to a NC snow, just wait til i explain that one next week.

What did he call you?

We love a nicknames here in the south. Do you have one?  I will be picking out a nickname to "try on for size" next week from our audience so if you have an idea, send it to gary@garydavispresents.com

I will not go by "wingnut" or "turkeyleg" as those are close friends of mine.

Thanks and here is the video of the week

Down here, we speak when we see each other. I know it seems weird, especially the third time we pass in the hall, but it is just how we do, check this out.

It's a new year, so stop doing stupid stuff

My newest video is below, hope you enjoy it.

Merry Christmas from the Family

So sometimes this time of year folks ask you bout your family, but do they really care. Be sure if you ask about someone's kids that you listen to the answer.

Tim Sanders is coming to town

I would love to see you next week at Buzz books as we invite Tim Sanders to town. Here are the details. I am proud to introduce him as I always recommend his books.

Did you know that 65 percent of Americans are willing to switch to a brand associated with a good cause, where price and quality are equal?
Join Tim Sanders, author of Saving the World at Work, on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at SAS World Headquarters, Cary, to learn why your company should go beyond making a profit … and start making a difference. Sanders believes that a “responsibility revolution” is shaking up corporate America and companies that rise to the challenge will disrupt those that don’t.
Sanders will offer insight into why managers who do not take this revolution into account risk their companies and the livelihoods of their employees. He will offer concrete suggestions on how we can all contribute to the “responsibility revolution.”
By attending this event, you will learn how to redesign your goals to focus on social value as well as the bottom line; buy, live and give back locally instead of only nationally or globally; and become more green in your day-to-day operations.
Sanders is an advocate for good values in the business world. His first book, Love is the Killer App, was both a New York Times and international bestseller. He has been featured in Time, the New York Times, USA Today, Fast Company and the Washington Post, and has appeared on "Today," CNN, "Fox and Friends," and national radio.
