With the holiday party season in full swing, this week seems like a good time to think about office parties as something more than just an excuse to blow off some steam or make a fool of yourself. In fact, as Wayne hears on the show this week, you could even view a party as a great opportunity to network and connect with others.

He's joined by Marybeth Kuzmeski, author of The Connectors: How The World's Most Successful Businesspeople Build Relationships and Win Clients for Life, to explore how you can network more effectively at a party and make connections with others even if you've never been a "people person".

The intro music to the Working Week is "The Warrior" by The EMP Project, used with permission of Blue Canoe Records.
