My new friend, Liv of madness, madness I say!, has bestowed upon me the Power of Schmooze Award. Guess what? Liv thinks I’m cool too. Yeah, quit laughing. Miss Liv is truly witty and I’d advise you not to get caught in the middle of the banter between she and mikeachim.
Anyhoo, I’m to select five bloggers I feel are deserving of the award for schmoozing but before I do , exactly what is schmoozing?
Darlene Tenes, CEO of Marketing Maniacs says, “The art of schmoozing is an essential social, career and life skill. Many people at the top of their fields are excellent schmoozers. They know how to connect with people and are able to leverage those connections.” I definitely need to work on the leveraging part.
On the real, I’ve connected with so many bloggers lately because of my 2000 Bloggers post. That idea was not mine; I bit off my neighbor, Christy of Christy’s Coffee Break. The next thing I know, there was an explosion in traffic on my blog.
That being said, I'd like to thank Liv again and post the five bloggers I think are most deserving of the schmoozing award. Each recipient is to post the badge on their site with a link to their post and bestow the award upon five bloggers. Christy was my first choice to receive the award but she’s already received it twice within a few weeks. She must really be a schmoozer. Congrats, Christy!
So, without further ado and in no particular order, The Power of Schmooze Award goes to:
Maria of BAAAHHH!, Marty of MartyBLOGs, Marenda of Living Life Abundantly, Jim of A Lad's Lunch with Favor and Jeanne of Binding Ink. I could post something about each of them but they are very similar in that their honesty, sincerity and passion for their blog topic transcend the computer screen. Although all touch on different blog topics, each is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
That’s it ladies and gents, go forth and schmooze some more; it’s a good thing.
Happy Blogging!
Smooches!....
