I am proud to have been born and raised in Pasadena, California, USA. I was born in February of 1948, went to school at St. Elizabeth in neighboring Altadena, John Marshall Junior High, and of course Pasadena High School. Go Bulldogs!! I ended up leaving in 1966 to attend University of San Diego, and then to UCLA, where I eventually obtained two degrees, a BA in Psychology and a PhD. in Education. But my point here is that I’m thrilled to be coming back to my old home town on next Tuesday, July 6 for a book signing at Vroman’s book store, which has been there as an outstanding independent book store to sign and discuss my latest book Connecting: Beyond the Name Tag about personal and business networking. It has very special meaning to me that the event will be in Pasadena, and at Vroman’s I did a signing there in 1995 for my last book on sales entitled Sell Yourself. My late parents and sister Barbara were at that signing. It is fifteen years later and many experiences later. I hope to draw a diverse group of people who can meet each other. Everyone is welcome, and it is a free event. Believe Publishing is providing wine and Middle Eastern appetizers. A big part of the fun for me is not knowing who or how many people will show up. I hope whoever is reading this feels welcome and motivated to show up, because showing up is really the essence of my message. It is 4th of July weekend, and it really shouldn’t end on Monday, but extend through the event at Vroman’s. See you there.

I was born and raised in Pasadena, California. My mom used to love going to the local bookstore Vroman’s to browse. That was the first time I heard the word browse. I asked her what it meant, and she described an activity of leisurely and pleasurable walking through an appealing store. Mom loved to read, and shared that wonderful passion with me. Vroman’s was and remains a landmark in the lovely city of Pasadena in Southern California. It is without a doubt my first choice of where I want to do a presentation and book signing. Well, a gentleman named Mike Farmer, who I know through networking, has arranged such an event for me in July. On Tuesday, July 6 at 7 p.m. I will be doing a presentation and signing there. I am thrilled about it, and really want my Pasadena pals to join me for the celebration. I am proud to be from Pasadena. It is a diverse town (more so than when I was younger), charming, and has character. I hope that this event brings together a diverse group of Pasadena folks and others. Details of the event will be following, but if you plan in advance, mark your calendar and plan to be there.

On Thursday, March 25, Believe Publishing will be sponsoring a special book signing and networking mixer at Stone Rose Lounge in the Sofitel Hotel, at 8555 Beverly Blvd., right across from the Beverly Center. The concept behind this event is really a combination book signing for my new book Connecting: Beyond the Name Tag and networking mixer to assemble a diverse group of people. It is especially relevant because the topic of the book is NETWORKING. Believe Publishing wants to showcase the book while giving people the opportunity to socialize and network. There will be complimentary appetizers and a cash bar. The Stone Rose is a very comfortable indoor/outdoor venue with a fire pit and lots of room to mix and mingle. I will be selling and signing Connecting: Beyond the Name Tag in an adjacent room. For those who already have the book, the event is a time of celebration for the arrival of the spring season. It is my hope that people will have a pleasant and memorable experience and make both personal and business connections. The event is open to everyone, and there is parking at Beverly Center, on the street, or valet at the hotel. Please share this information and join in the fun. I hope to see you there.

On Thursday, March 25 at 6 p.m. Believe Publishing will host a book signing for my new book Connecting: Beyond the Name Tag. The event will be held at the Stone Rose Lounge at the Sofitel Hotel in mid-town LA, at the corner of Beverly Bl. and La Cienega. It is also a networking mixer. How can this be? Well, we have decided that since my book is about networking, our book signings should give guests the opportunity to network both personally and for business. It is a free event, open to everyone to encourage attendance and participation. There will be light appetizers and a cash bar. The Stone Rose is a wonderful indoor/outdoor venue located in the epicenter of Los Angeles. Attendees can purchase books (if they don’t already have one) and I will be signing them. Because it is free and open to everyone, the crowd is guaranteed to be diverse in terms of age, profession, and background. Feel free to share this information with any of your friends and associates, whether you are coming or not. Networking is especially important in these challenging economic times. You can never know too many people. Come and join the fun. RSVP to wsaleeb@aol.com.
