Most people attend networking events to gain something: job leads, referrals, exposure, connections, opportunities to grow their business. Having organized more than 50 networking events over the past 10 years, I've seen plenty of these people leave disappointed, dismissing networking as a complete waste of time.

But I've also seen the opposite. I've seen people walk out with a handful of business cards feeling happy, inspired and excited. The major difference between these two groups of people is this: the people who leave on a high note are those who attend with just one goal in mind -- to figure out how they can help others in the room.

True networking occurs when there's an understanding that everyone in the room has equal value. In its purest form, it's about people enjoying other people, communicating passions and connecting with others who share those passions. It's about listening, figuring out what others need and connecting them with people you think can help, without any designs for personal gain. The most successful networkers build genuine relationships and give more than they receive. They go beyond thinking, "What's in it for me?" to ask "How can I help?"

To follow their approach, here are eight ways to network successfully and have fun doing it.
Start networking before you need it.
Seasoned networkers can smell the stench of desperation from across the room. People can sense when someone is only out to help himself. Tip-offs ranging from a panicked look in the eyes to a portfolio brimming with resumes will send them running in the other direction. On the other hand, by networking when you have no ulterior motive, you can begin to build relationships and a reputation for being generous rather than self-serving.
Have a plan.
Since every person has value, it's essential that you know what yours is. Before you attend any networking event, get clear on what talents, strengths, skill sets and connections you can bring to the table. Map out what you want to talk about, particularly how you may be able to help other people, either now or in the future.
Forget your personal agenda.
While you may be tempted to network just to land a job or talk to people you normally wouldn't have access to, that's a mistake. Instead, make it your goal to be open, friendly and honest, and to forge connections between people who may be able to help each other. Generosity is an attractive quality and it's something special that people will remember about you.
Never dismiss anyone as unimportant.
Make it your mission to discover the value in each person you talk to. Ask questions and listen with interest. Don't make the mistake of discounting people due to their titles. Someone you meet may "just" be a clerk, but they may have valuable connections or knowledge you'd never learn about if you'd dismissed them.

Then, when the conversation ends, remember what that person has to offer as you move to the next.
Connect the dots.
Once you begin to listen to people and learn what they can bring to the table, you'll start realizing how one person in the room may be able to help another. Make it a point to connect people you feel have something of genuine value to each other. When you go out of your way to make those potentially promising connections, you're doing your part to make the networking event a success.
Figure out how you can be useful.
Before any conversation comes to a close, be sure to ask, "How can I help you?" Because it's done so rarely, you may encounter a surprised look, but it will most likely be accompanied by an appreciative smile. While the person may not have an answer for you that night, they may have an idea later. Always close by saying something like, "If you need anything, please reach out to me or connect via LinkedIn" and present your business card.
Follow up and follow through.
If you told someone you'd get in touch with them, do it and reaffirm your intent to assist in any way you can. If you promised to introduce someone to a person you know, take the time to do it. Everyone is busy these days with jobs, families, events, commitments -- even so, it takes no more than a minute to shoot off an email to introduce two people you want to connect. They can take it from there and do the work -- just enjoy being the bridge. Little things like that mean a lot to people and just one introduction can end up changing someone's life for the better. I've seen it happen dozens of times and it's quite gratifying.
Believe in the power of networking.
When you believe that the true value of networking lies in helping others and you do your part, you'll soon discover magic happening all around you. The beauty of this approach is that you never know when that magic may cast its spell on you.

Sometimes, it is the simplest ideas that remain the most solid; forgotten for now but need a renewed value. Today, many view people as social capital and "network" for a purpose. We need to go back to basics; we need to go back to making friends and connecting with people once again.

The rigor with which a problem is defined is the most important factor in finding a good solution. Many organizations, however, are not proficient at articulating their problems and identifying which ones are crucial to their strategies.

They may even be trying to solve the wrong problems-missing opportunities and wasting resources in the process. The key is to ask the right questions.

The author describes a process that his firm, InnoCentive, has used to help clients define and articulate business, technical, social, and policy challenges and then present them to an online community of more than 250,000 solvers. The four-step process consists of asking a series of questions and using the answers to create a problem statement that will elicit novel ideas from an array of experts.

Establish the need for a solution. What is the basic need? Who will benefit from a solution?

Justify the need. Why should your organization attempt to solve this problem? Is it aligned with your strategy? If a solution is found, who will implement it?

Contextualize the problem. What have you and others already tried? Are there internal and external constraints to implementing a solution?

Write the problem statement. What requirements must a solution meet? What language should you use to describe the problem? How will you evaluate solutions and measure success?

EnterpriseWorks/VITA, a nonprofit organization, used this process to find a low-cost, lightweight, and convenient product that expands access to clean drinking water in the developing world.

The outbreak of cholera in the vicinity of Golden Square, central London, in the late summer of 1854, and the subsequent removal of the handle from the Broad Street pump, have become an enduring feature of the folklore of public health and epidemiology. To fully understand the incident requires an accurate reconstruction of the role of Dr John Snow, who proposed that cholera was commonly transmitted by drinking water.

Modern writers persist in disseminating not the facts but an apocryphal story to support a desired conclusion, as in this representative example: "[Snow] sat down one afternoon with a map of London, where a recent outbreak had killed more than 500 people in one dreadful 10-day period. He marked the locations of the homes of those who had died. From the marks on his map, Snow could see that the deaths had all occurred in the so-called Golden Square area. The most striking difference between this district and the rest of London was the source of its drinking water. The private water company supplying the Golden Square neighborhood... was getting its water from a section of the Thames River that was known to be especially polluted. So Snow went down to Broad Street, where he suspected that one particular pump was the source of the contaminated water. And, in a gesture that still reverberates among public health scholars today, he removed the handle of the Broad Street pump."Once the pump was out of commission, the epidemic abated.

AN ORTHO-PINION

Over the years, I have had a number of patients who come in with complaints of pain in the inner center part of their arch. Typically, these patients tend to be athletic; however, not all are. Oftentimes, these patients have a bump in this inner center arch area. What is this bump and why is it painful?
Accessory navicular
As infants and children, many of our bones start off as cartilage. These cartilage "bones" are difficult to see on x-ray until they become calcified. The calcification process occurs at a variety of different times in life depending on the bone.

An accessory navicular is an extra bone that is on the inner center arch of the foot. Up to 2.5 percent of individuals are born with the accessory navicular. Throughout early childhood, this condition is not noticed. However, in adolescence, when the accessory navicular begins to calcify, the bump on the inner aspect of the arch becomes noticed. For most, it is never symptomatic. However, for some, there is some type of injury - whether a twist, stumble, or fall - that makes the accessory navicular symptomatic.

There are three different types of accessory navicular. This extra cartilage, which is turned into bone, is found attached to the posterior tibial tendon, just medial (inside) the navicular bone. The accessory navicular can affect the insertion of the posterior tibial tendon. This tendon has the job of keeping your foot aligned and helping to maintain an arch. The accessory navicular can be associated with a normal foot posture and alignment, or sometimes with a flat (pes planus) foot.

An initial assessment in an orthopaedic office begins with a thorough history and complete physical exam, including an assessment of the posterior tibial tendon and areas of tenderness. Associated misalignments of the ankle and foot should be noted. Finally, weight-bearing x-rays of the foot will help in making the diagnosis. Sometimes, an MRI may be needed to see if the posterior tibial tendon is involved with the symptoms or getting more clarity on the anatomy of the accessory navicular.

Initial treatment is conservative. With the first episode of symptoms, a medial heel wedge, anti-inflammatories, and physical therapy can be helpful. If very painful, a cast or boot may be needed for a short period time before the wedge and physical therapy can be initiated. Very rarely is a steroid injection warranted or recommended. As the pain improves, patients can resume activities. For a minority of patients, an arch support or custom orthotic can help to take some of the extra pressure off of the accessory navicular and the posterior tibial tendon.

For patients who have failed conservative care or who have recurrent symptoms, surgery can be considered. Surgical intervention requires an excision of the accessory navicular and reattachment of the posterior tibial tendon to the navicular. Oftentimes, this is the only procedure necessary. However, if there are other deformities, such as a flat foot or forefoot that is abducted, other procedures may be required.

In summary, an accessory navicular is a fairly uncommon condition which is rarely symptomatic. Oftentimes nonsurgical treatment is successful. In the minority of cases, surgical intervention is required. Patients typically do very well with conservative and surgical treatment. Athletic activities can usually be restarted once symptoms have improved or the patient has recovered from surgery.
