-Member Spotlight-
Steve Montague, Sandler Training
 Most vivid Chamber memory: Watching the Chamber grow from auspicious beginnings in the bank location on Barry Road to where it is today and the business impact it now has on the Northland. The Northland Regional Chamber of Commerce is now one of the best Chambers in the city for business growth, exposure, networking opportunities and regional business and political impact.
Favorite member-to-member experience: It has to be the Business Fair. This event has become one of the premier business showcases of the year!
Best part about working for Sandler Training: The best part about working for Sandler Training is seeing the lights come on for people and the feeling I get as they become aware of how much better they can be. Helping businesses and their employees achieve a great understanding of each other, enhancing their communication, developing their own personal goals and helping them achieve those goals. Everyone knows: Excellence is a Matter of Choice!
Thank you Steve and a big 'Thank You' to everyone who attended the Business After Hours. Join in at the next event for your chance to win this feature spot in the E-Voice!

Small Business Tip of the Week
3 Networking Traps to Avoid
| |
|
Not all networking is created equally. In fact, developing certain kinds of networks can impair your career rather than bolster it. Here are three networking personas to avoid:
- The biased leader. Don't solely rely on advisers who are similar to you. They only reinforce your biases. Look for people who have different backgrounds or values and will encourage you to make more informed decisions.
- The superficial networker. A common networking mistake is to engage in surface-level interaction with as many people as possible. A bigger network is not a better one. Be sure your relationships have depth.
- The chameleon. Don't change your interests, values, and personality to match those of whomever you're talking to. You'll end up more disconnected than when you started. Be true to who you are.
