People You Need To Have In Your Professional Network according to Forbes

FROM FORBES.COM

In a career planning workshop for senior executives, all of whom were gainfully employed and not actively looking for a job, I still emphasized the importance of recruiter relationships. Recruiters offer a critical window into the market. Even when you’re not looking, you want to understand the level of interest in what you do (what is your marketability?), the compensation for your role (what is your market value?) and the typical scope of responsibility, budget and/or size of team that accompany your level (are you progressing at, above or below your peers?). Recruiters are just one type of contact you should know. Here are nine more people you need to have in your professional network:

1. MARKET EXPERT
2. HR
3. GUARDIAN ANGEL
4. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
5. SHEPHERD
6. CHANGE AGENT
7. CHEERLEADER
8. TRUTH TELLER
9. CONNECTOR

What Do You Speak Julie Dexter?

Jermaine Sain, owner of When We Speak TV, 

and singer, Julie Dexter at 2017 Jazz in the Alley Concert Series

If you are a true "SPEAKER" that follows When We Speak TV, you will know that Julie Dexter was the first live music concert I attended when I moved to Atlanta in 2008.  Back then, I wasn't really familiar with the Atlanta music scene, nor any of the indie artists in the city but I was invited by my business partner, Chet, so I went......and to make a long story short, I have been a Julie Dexter fan ever since.  

I always make the reference that Julie Dexter is my Beyonce.  What I mean by that is, although I would love to meet Beyonce, I get just as anxious when I see Julie Dexter, as I would if I saw Beyonce!  I really admire Julie because not only is she a great vocalist but she is also a supporter of When We Speak TV!  You may remember that a few years back, I sat down and spoke with her at the release of her album, New Again.  

Since then, she and I have definitely seen one another on several occasions at musical events like the Atlanta Jazz Festival....and of course this year, she performed at the Jazz In The Alley Concert Series, which When We Speak TV is an official partner!

New Again by Julie Dexter

I think it goes without saying that Julie Dexter is one of our favorite people, that's why I am so excited to have the opportunity to speak with Julie Dexter for a segment of  What Do YOU Speak? 

Definitely take a moment to watch it ......and find who told Julie that, "The Best Thing A Woman Can Be Is A Singer" , which changed her life.  I hope you enjoy it!  

If you haven't done so, please take a moment to subscribe to the new When We Speak TV YouTube page, we would greatly appreciate your support!
