Most of us recognize the importance of associations and organizations in growing our professional network,

but how do we really get the most out of those experiences and memberships?

On today's show, getting the most from professional

associations with networking expert John Corcoran. This is coaching for

leaders episode 2009. Greetings to you from Orange County, California. This is coaching for leaders and I'm your host

Dave Stahoviac. Leaders aren't born, they're made and this weekly show will give you access to the best thinkers, resources, and actions

to develop your leadership skills and one of those great thinkers out there who's doing a lot of great work online and

helping people to become more effective especially in their professional

networking is John Corker and he's been on the show I had three times before now and recently John and I sat down and recorded a

conversation that is actually going to air on both of our shows which is why I'm

introducing it here so we'll roll into that interview here

in just a moment between John and I.

And stick around after the interview

because I've got a update to the announcement

I talked about last week that was coming over email and more information about that. But before that, here is my conversation with the John on how to get the most from professional associations.

Hey everybody, it's Dave Stahoviac here

with coaching for leaders, and I have John Corcoran

here as well from the Smart Business Revolution podcast. Hey John.

Hey Dave happy to be back with you doing another joint episode. We don't do them

all that frequently but I'm glad when we do. We don't but you know what I think

this is our fourth time so someday you can tell your kids and your grandkids that you appeared on coaching for leaders four times and they will be so impressed

Exactly right and and I'm gonna be they will be so impressed. Exactly, right.
