		<description><![CDATA[I recently attended a preview for an upcoming seminar. During the break, some attendees were busy ‘networking’. Why do I put networking in inverted comas?

It&#8217;s just that it felt that the presentation wasn&#8217;t his. It was done by someone else in his organization as a marketing material cum presentation. Let me explain: in a BNI meeting, your presentation needs to be very tuned [...]]]></description>
