12 Networking Nightmares Before Christmas
You have inspired me to create the 12 networking nightmares of Christmas based on your many drinks and networking stories at this time of year using the old favourite melody “The 12 Days of Christmas”.
Set that tune playing in your head and please do help me to come up with number 12.
