Ivan Misner in London is passionate about networking in practice

Dr Ivan Misner is back in London, the first time in 5 years. During his trip he has managed to pack in visits to Scotland, Ireland and other parts of Europe, but on Friday we were privileged to have him for a whole day and he did not disappoint. I even managed to get a photograph with him.

Although Dr Misner presented a powerful keynote and extolled the virtues and benefits of BNI with a very passionate, practical presentation, he was inclusive of other media too. He spent about 15 minutes describing the four streams of networking, only one of which could include BNI. By all accounts that is about to change. He maintains that BNI is still one of the most professional and practical ways for people to do more business. He pointed out that to be successful, you must invest at least 6.5 half hours per week actually networking for networking to achieve success. Noted!

He went on to cover some practical ideas that included such headlines as open twos, open threes, fours and so on, the 12 * 12 * 12 rule and fun suckers… You would learn more about these if you attended BNI Great Western where we plan to cover these elements and more at our future chapter meetings.
