Are you looking for new clients, partnerships, or career opportunities? Having clear goals will guide your efforts and make your networking more purposeful. Networking is about building genuine relationships. Be yourself and show genuine interest in others. Effective communication is not just about talking but also about listening. Pay attention to what others are saying, ask questions, and show empathy. After meeting someone, follow up with a personalized message. Mention something specific from your conversation to remind them of who you are. Networking is not a one-time activity. Hosted by Georgia keynote speaker Michael A. Forman, Networking Unleashed helps professionals turn conversations into clients through powerful communication and relationship strategy.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-12T16:21:41.794540+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-unleashed-the-podcast-7121316"},"episode":{"title":"Networking Unleashed: An Interview with Rick Silver and Michael A Forman, Professional Speaker","slug":"networking-unleashed-an-interview-with-rick-silver-and-michael-a-forman-professional-speaker","published_at":"2026-07-11T17:06:51+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-unleashed-the-podcast-7121316/networking-unleashed-an-interview-with-rick-silver-and-michael-a-forman-professional-speaker","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-unleashed-the-podcast-7121316","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/networking-unleashed-trailer/2979893","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/286782/2979893/networking-unleashed-trailer/2026_07_11_17_06_45_c5e3b775-3b87-4f9f-be00-12cefa3a6fba.mp3","summary":"Rick Silver rsilver@gmail.com Please share a brief Bio. Rick Silver has been entertaining audiences since 1994. He has performed close-up magic during residencies at popular restaurants such as Rays on the River and has performed numerous stage shows with his longtime stage partner, the late Magician Bill Kress. However, his favorite kind of show to perform has always been interactive parlor-type shows where he can really connect with his audience. After a break performing as a magician, Rick came back strong as a Mentalist with a highly interactive and engaging show, accumulating over 100 5 star Google reviews in just 18 months, making him one of the best Entertainers in Georgia. He is based in Atlanta / Johns Creek, Georgia. What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about? I will be prepared to talk about reframes as they relate to networking. 1. What are reframes?
