1. Attend parties where you know someone. Make time to go to an event where you know one of the organizers.
Many K Street groups are billing their fetes as receptions, including Airlines for America, which is hosting a “Holiday Reception” in the Capitol on Dec. 1.
1. Know the small talk secrets. The goal of a good small talker is to get the other person to do the chatting. Ask open-ended questions and wait patiently for responses.
1. Cut the fat. Look over your schedule and see which of your commitments have a low return on investment.
1. Anything by Margaret Truman Daniel, including “Murder in Georgetown”, “Murder in Foggy Bottom” and “Murder on K Street.” Harry Truman’s daughter was a novelist, who knew?
1. Go to the district. No August recess is complete without a few days (or even a week) back home in the district/state office.
