Welcome to the blog spot for the book, “Nose-to-Nose Networking”

Here you will find information about the book and workshops, some tips on masterful networking, a little bit of fun and a whole lot of Abigail.

What is Nose-to-Nose?

It is a book and series of workshops inspired by Abigail, the gregarious Golden Retriever. While the author (Mélanie Hope) was working with survivors of domestic violence in helping them find their voices and get back into the workforce, she found inviting and inspiring stories in how Abby worked a room. Abby wasn’t afraid. She didn’t let past failures stop her from her social agenda – she was just herself, and it was enough. Mélanie took these stories and related them back to how we humans can re-learn the skills of building a network.

“An easy-to-read, simple-to-understand networking book with a unique point of view. You will love Abigail and the life lessons she inspires. A must-read!”

My dog helped me find my last job, fix my broken sink and get a better deal on a used car.

She can help you, too.

Have you ever applied for a job or a contract only to find that thousands of others also applied? How do you make yourself stand out in a sea of desperate faces?

What does a Golden Retriever have that you don’t?

When she walks into a room, she is instantly everyone’s best friend. When she leaves, she is remembered. She can teach us all a lesson about great networking. What is it that she has that you don’t?

The simple answer is, NOTHING. You, too can learn to utilize your already present gifts to create a better network.
