5.0 out of 5 stars If John Gray Joined a BNI Group

If John Gray joined a BNI group, would it be the Venus or the Mars Founders Chapter?

If you desire to increase your effectiveness in networking with the opposite sex, and grow your business' profitability, the answer is "Yes!" Buy this book right now and discover why and how...

Ivan, Hazel, and Frank surveyed 12,000 networkers--female and male--and learned a great deal about the real-world, real-time, real-truthful ways we relate to each other while attempting to do business. Suffice it to say what we perceive is happening might be our reality, but not really...at least with regards to the other gender.

As husband to a business owner and father of two daughters doing business today, I consider myself to be "above average" with regards to understanding gender distinctions and networking. I live it. I experience it up close and personal. I overrated my perception. This book taught me a great deal, taking me into nuances of relationships that catapulted me into becoming an even better networker.

Frankly, as I read the first section that can be generally described as "Sexual Harrassment is Alive and Well," I discounted much of it, acknowledging that while such behavior once existed, surely men don't actually have to be told any longer, "My eyes are up here."

I was wrong.

Recently, I gave a keynote presentation to a male-dominated group with a female executive. The comments some of these men whispered to me in a locker-room tone at a break rocked me back on my heels.

Not only does such behavior still exist, it's a definite impediment to successful networking, leadership, and generally in doing business effectively.

But that's just the beginning of this outstanding survey-driven yet anecdotal-focused book.

The rest of the book illuminates survey results, gender distinctions, and provides instructions on how we can complement each other in business more effectively. Such truths as men are more transactional and women more transformational focused, and men are results-oriented while women are relationship-oriented jump off of each page with exceptional, positive ways of creating networking synergy while acknowledging these truths.

The writing style is very conversational. Throughout, you listen in on the exchanges between Ivan, Hazel, and Frank as they interpret the survey and what it means to you the reader. It's an engaging technique that relaxes the reader so that new information is received well and less daunting.

Regardless of your gender, NETWORKING AND SEX is worthy of your time, investment, and attention as we all do business in the world today.

Still wondering which BNI group John Gray would join?

(Yes, he's quoted several times in this book...)

Published in 2012, well before trump, but first premise is spot on for today. The exception has become the perception. Wow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Misner Nails it Again
Reviewed in the United States on 9 December 2012

Many times, Dr. Ivan Misner has proven himself to be the utmost authority on business networking. This book is no exception. The amount of research, polling and interviewing that went into the genesis of this book is very apparent. Add the organization that went into the compiling of this data and you have a book that is interesting and very informative.

Not only does the book go into similarities and differences in they way that men and women network, but it is a handbook on how we can network better with the opposite sex...and within our own gender as well.

I highly recommend this book along with all of Dr. Misner's other books.
