professionalite 

A professionalite is a socialite of the professional networking world. A person who seamlessly marries their professional and social life. They are well known and respected on the networking scene and in the office. They are sometimes referred to as connectors. A professionalite can be sloppy drunk and still remember to get your business card; although they usually have a freakishly high tolerance to alcohol. They know everyone, and if they don't know who you are talking about they will find them online before the conversation is over. They have few friends that they don't do some sort of business with. They are known to be members of many industry organizations and are actually active in them. A professionalite never has a resume, as they make it their mission to be sure everyone has heard of them and knows their career history and accomplishments. They know who's leaving a firm before it happens, so they can easily position themselves for the opportunity or pass the information along to their friends. They routinely attend 3 or more networking events a week. A seasoned professionalite never wears a name tag.

DC is full of young professionals who drone on about their jobs, but I am a professionalite, I drone while I drink 5 nights a week.

gracious professionalism 

This term was coined by Professor Woodie Flowers for the FIRST robotics competition. The definition has never been precisely outlined, but it's connotation is widely understood and may be summarized as this: "Competition for the sake not of destroying one another, but for the sake of bettering and improving both competitors as a result of the competition."

Lending a spare part to an opponent in order to keep them from forfeiting a match is a prime example of gracious professionalism.
