Not too long ago I wrote about how to find the most important person in the room by reading specific body language cues. (By the way, thank you to all the magazines and other blogs that picked up this story!) Recently, a colleague on LinkedIn asked how do you present yourself as the most important person [...] Networking events. Association meetings. Conferences. Regional meetings. Trade shows.
