A week from Thursday is my favorite holiday – St. Patrick’s Day! 

The celebrations have changed over the years.  I rarely wear shorts on St. Patrick’s Day, as it is still too cold in New England for shorts in mid-March, and my networking reach is far beyond J Patrick O’Malley’s, but you can bet I will be networking, enjoying the day and hope you will be too.

In the days of JPats, I tracked contacts with paper and ink, I had no real strategy for networking, or managing my career,  there was no LinkedIn, or online relationship management systems  – WOW – what if there had been – who knows?

For those of you are in the Boston area, next week you can tap into one of my network contacts, Jason Alba at one of several events.  In other areas connect with Jason’s blog as he speaks throughout the US and internationally.

Mark your calendars, register, and go hear Jason Alba speak.  You will be glad you did.

Jason gets career management.  He was an IT Manager who got laid off in 2006.  Jason is street-smart, has great stories, an engaging smile and like so many, he figured out career management is critical.     

Our connection, Don Huse at Venturion introduced me to Jason Alba.  Jason is the author of three books, and someone I looked to for update to date information on relationship management systems, LinkedIn, and other social media.  He is also a certified personal branding strategist – yet another connection!  We are also talking about his returning to New England in the early fall, but don’t wait till then to connect with Jason Alba.
