Interview with Steve Pearce – Executive Coach and Conference Speaker

Steve Pearce is an executive coach and conference speaker who specializes in helping people become brilliant communicators. He is retained by some of the world’s leading banks and law firms, and writes the blog Common Ground.

Josh: How do you define Business Networking and why do you feel it is important?

Steve Pearce: I think of business networking as survival tactic number 1 in today’s volatile job market. You’re going to need someone’s help some day. Far better to know, when that day comes, that you’re already in credit with a whole bunch of people, rather than face the humiliation of knocking at a closed door.
