Ik heb je boek het afgelopen weekend nog eens doorgelezen en ik moet zeggen,
ik blijf het elke keer een groter meesterwerk vinden. Ik zelf ben niet echt "business-gericht" met netwerken bezig, daar ikzelf voor de overheid werk. Maar toch.
Nu valt mijn oog elke maal ik jouw boek lees weer op een nieuw gegeven en zo ook deze keer. (Diederik Brees)

I have read the book 'A Girlfriend in Every City' by Geert last night, looking for the names of his girlfriends (grin). I can really recommend this book. Very honest, very open and usefull tips. He made me blogging again.
Geert keep your diary up to date for the second year. Friendly regards
(Mike Verdugt, Amerone, Belgium)

 

I have read the book from Geert last night. I knew already that he was the best, but now I'm sure !!!!!! Geert you did a terrific job. Highly recommended !
(Filip Hamerlinck, FH Business Consulting/P41, Belgium)

 

 

The past days I read Geert's book and I really love it !
The personal writing style and plenty of very useful information makes it a
'must read'. Even in case you have already productively built up your network
I'd say take the book at hand and discover !
(Petra De Wilde, B-Wild!, Belgium)

 

 

A personal approach, that's the least you can say about Geert's book.
It's easy to read, no heavy stuff, it's just like he's standing next to you.
Well done Geert, gimme some extra copies, for I'll surely sell them!
For those that are not familiar with Ecademy it surely is a 'must read!'
(Jean Loyens, Norman/IBAS, Belgium)

his/her computer while being online! You give a huge collection of priceless tips that apply both to beginners and experimented networkers.

Got an invite to join ECADEMY from a good friend of mine, though he is a good friend...my conscious mind still had a DOUBT about Ecademy.
Started with the Guest membership and this friend gave me Geert's book,
the title of the book really tickles me, once I read it I can't stop.
It is easy, real, sincere, educating, and most important it takes my DOUBT away about joining Ecademy. Networking is indeed about People and Geert knows how
to put this in words...Excellent. Happy Networking.
(Regine Ricka Jong, Netherlands)

 

 

I just finished reading your book “A Girlfriend in Every City” and I enjoyed it very much. Although I did get into a bit of trouble here at home when my fiancée saw the title and wondered what I was reading!
You were very dedicated to write this, especially in English. I wish my French was half this good. There are a lot of good thoughts in your book, and I might even use some of it in my class which I am teaching at Boston University right now.
Thanks for making this book available. I look forward to seeing you again soon.
(Charles Crouch, Boston University, Belgium/USA)

 

 

Reading Geert's book has given me further insights into what I already do and what I can incorporate even more into my networking. It's reliable and flexible reading and the methodologies given can be used wherever I go, whoever I attend with and/or even if I arrive on my own. I no longer feel that I am missing out!
Thank You Geert, you've produced a gleaming gem!!
(Valerie Lothian, Focusivity, London UK)

 

 

Thanks Geert, for the tips and tricks you pass on in your book.
I totally agree with the other comments. Loved the personal touch of the story and the fact that I recognise so many things.
(Yves 'Motiv-Action' Miserez, Optima Facto, Belgium)
 

I just started reading your book today (bought it from Amazon). The best thing about it is that it is usable, I find so many books abstract with no real world use, so well done. I was originally going to finish it before signing up for an account but I couldn't wait. Now I feel like a kid in a sweets shop.

(David Woodhouse, Manchester UK)

 

After reading your book 'A Girlfriend in Every City', which i enjoyed and recognised a lot in it, you need to change your pictures.... You started as a very closed person but the way I know you for a while, it's totally different.

(Peter H. Claes, IGO-Post, Belgium)

 

I've read the book this weekend, it was so interesting I couldn't stop, just kept reading untill the end. It's great to see that there are so many elements in the book which are recognisable. I could truly imagine myself in some of the same situations. I'm sure this book will help me in a lot of ways. A lot of usefull tips, and the sheer honesty and openness makes this a book you just have to read!
(Steven Pauwels, Deloitte, Belgium)

 

 

Quick message to say that I purchased your book at the beginning of the week & finished reading it wthin 24 hours. Its taken me the best part of a year to get my ass in gear and start using Ecademy effectively. However, thanks to your good self, I'm now pumped up to really get things moving.
(Alex Reed, Matrix Business Coaching, Berkshire, UK)

 

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of reading your book cover to cover without putting it down over 2 hours or so! Really enjoyed it and it gave me some great encouragement that what i was doing in networking was right after all!
Thank you and hereby I am taking your advice and linking up with you.
(Christopher Lomas, Gumption/Lloyds TSB Bank, UK)

 

This book is Geert's voyage of discovery when joining Ecademy. A small book of 108 pages and a light read. I found it interesting to read and was amused by what he said about the females he connected with. Geert provides networking tips, some example introduction notes and makes some valid points including the following : "The best thing that can happen to you on Ecademy is gaining a lot of business, in a worst case scenario you will gain a lot of friends for life!!"
Not a big or expensive book but a good book if you are just starting out in the world of networking on Ecademy. If you want to get a good understanding of what Ecademy is all about this is a great fun book. The topic regarding women,attraction flirting and Ecademy was well covered. I found it amusing but did worry, but only a little, that it may encourage the wrong use of this great business networking environment.
(Fiona L. Brown, Mums in Business, Bedford, UK)


A Girlfriend in Every City ... A great read ... it's a diary .. a journal ... a guidebook ... a map .. with some great networking recipes too !!
(Mike Gordon, Forensic Accountant, Pershore, Worcestershire, UK)

 

 

Geert's book A Girlfriend in Every City reads very smoothly, it is like a real story, you always want to know what comes afterwards.
For me one of the most interesting are the large number of hints and tips, not only with regard to networking, but also related to e.g. MBTI, HSP, it gives you an impression of what it is about, but sufficient to make you eager to know more about it. Geert was one of my first contacts on Ecademy, ready with hints & tips, but Geert is not only a virtual networking guru, he is a very charming person and always ready to help. (Saskia Smet, Dukenaz, Belgium)

 

 

As we all know there are a dozen ways of doing everything, business networking included. Thus I was keen to find out for myself how Geert worked out these online things - reason why I got me a copy of 'A Girlfriend in Every City.' Incredible stuff indeed! Whenever I dip into this book now I'm instantly full of admiration for the author's deft handling of the tricky balance between holding oneself open while reducing informational noise simultaneously. To put it in a nutshell: Geert's writing works like the homeopathic remedy for my own networking behaviour in regard to necessary levels of openness: His gusto drives out my overly-cautiousness. Well, there hasn't been finer a lesson for the networking neophyte in me: thanks eternally! (Conny Haag, Germany)

 

"It happens rarely, meeting someone who can explain in a clear language

what networking is all about. What's more ... it is very rare that I read a book

of about 100 pages in almost 1 single session. What's also more ...

meeting more and more people who all say the same ...

that their lives have changed enormously in a positive way thanks to

meeting one single person ... Geert Conard."
(Frans Vos, Materials Consult, Belgium)

 

I have finished reading Geert's book a few days ago. It exceeded my expectations although they were pretty high, which is natural having met Geert in person and being able to talk to him for some time. The book is easy to read but still packed with useful information on how to start networking and expand your network later on. But what I think is the most important, it really captures that true spirit of Ecademy and networking in general. Not many people have such defined opinion about networking let alone are able to present it in the way Geert has with this book. I will definatelly recommend anyone even remotely interested in networking to read this book and I'm absolutely sure it will rock their world as it has mine.
Thank you Geert for the wonderful experience of being able to read your book and even more importantly being able to meet you in person and call you a true friend.
I'm sure there are still great and wonderful things in stock for you
