Ask Keith
I participate in this site whenever I can - in fact, I find it kind of addictive. I get so excited to see people here reaching out. But it's hard for me to keep up with personal messages on this site, try as I might. If you have a question, I hope you'll direct it to the Ask Keith Forum, where I'll check in regularly and chose the best or most helpful questions and answer them on my blog or in a forum. Thank you!

- Keith Ferrazzi grew up in Pittsburgh, his father a steelworker, his mother a cleaning lady. His father worked double shifts to provide for his family while sending Keith to the very best schools – first, to the elite Kiski Prep school on scholarship, and ultimately to Yale undergrad and Harvard Business School.
Thanks to his remarkable ability to connect with others, by his 30s Keith had developed a network of relationships that stretched from Washington’s corridors of power to Hollywood’s A-list, leading to him being named one of Crain’s “40 Under 40” and selected as a Global Leader for Tomorrow by the Davos World Economic Forum.
After serving as Chief Marketing Officer for Deloitte and Starwood Hotels, he published his best-selling book Never Eat Alone in 2005, which went on to sell a quarter of a million copies and counting. He founded his own consulting firm Ferrazzi Greenlight, which leads the industry in strategic relationship management, bringing a fresh, conscious, and holistic perspective to success in the corporate world. He currently has over seventy speaking engagements a year in the U.S. and internationally, and is a frequent contributor to CNBC and CNN.
Both Forbes and Inc. magazines have designated Keith Ferrazzi as one of the world's most "connected" individuals. He distinguishes relationship-building from the crude, desperate glad-handing usually associated with networking. His outreach and advocacy is firmly grounded in the principles of generosity and accountability, and he encourages people to infuse their professional life with the same passion, personality, and honesty many tend to reserve for their personal lives.
Ferrazzi’s next book, Who's Got Your Back?, will be published in May of 2009. Who’s Got Your Back? guides readers to overcome limiting behaviors and achieve their highest potential by actively cultivating an inner circle of mutual support – people who are given permission and encouragement to kick your butt when you need it. These high-trust, intimate relationships can help both low and high achievers – including Ferrazzi himself – push themselves to incomparable success and personal reward.
Ferrazzi practices Vipassana meditation and is an avid polo player and heavy lifter. Though his travel takes him all over the world, his electricity bills are delivered to a home in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles.

I have also featured this event on InHouston.ning.com here: http://inhouston.ning.com/events/keith-ferrazzis-new-book-event and it shows up on the front page.
I have also invited over 1200 of my closest InHoustonians to come and get the word out.
HOPE YOU HAVE ROOM.
Are you going to have time during the day that Monday? Maybe I could introduce you to some keep people?
Eric
Also, thank you or someone from your staff for the bar tab that we all enjoyed at the Ambassador afterward!
As I said when I met you, I'm from an acting family that has left the corporate world in Feb '09 to be an actor like my parents. If you know of anyone that is looking for an actor for anything, please have them contact me. Like you said last night, nothing happens if you don't ask!
I am looking forward to meeting you here in Orlando on Thursday.
Thank you for all the inspiration.
Santiago.
Love your book. I am reading it now for the second time. Always finding new insight Also going to get your lastest. Looking forward to readng it. I love this community. Great insights from people and also a way to meet people from other countries.
This is a casual affair with a no host bar and appetizers available off the bar menu. It will be the first-ever meeting of its kind in the Sacramento Region. Our region will be joining San Francisco and LA among California regions to host a Greenlight City Group.
I encourage you to attend the meeting and to join the Sacramento City Group that believes YOU CAN’T SUCCEED ALONE – and why would you want to? Sacramento's Greenlight Community is ground central for the peer-based mutual success movement launched first in Keith Ferrazzi’s Never Eat Alone, and now in Who’s Got Your Back, the breakthrough program to building deep, trusting relationships that create success, and won’t let you fail.
The cost of participating in both the online community and the live City Group meetings is the value of your time, but the payback is huge. I sincerely hope that you will join us. Go the the Greenlight Events page to RSVP at http://www.greenlightcommunity.com/events/sacramento-greenlight-city.
