MYPHILOSOPHY
it’s not about you. you. you.!it’s always about someone else
MYPHILOSOPHY
networking is about generosity… but what you give always comes back to you exponentially
MYPHILOSOPHY
it isn’t rocket science… but like the Big Bang, it rarely happens by chance
STEP#1 LISTEN
really.
When you meet someone, listen first.!Find out about challenges, goals, hobbies and aspirations. What do you have in common? What can you learn?
How can you be of help?
STEP#1 LISTEN
STEP#2 CONNECT
Connect the dots.
Pay attention. Connect the dots inyour head. Make mental notes or written notes so you can remember.
STEP#2 CONNECT
Facilitate a connection for other people. (Remember those dots?) Think about what they need through their eyes, not your own.
STEP#2 CONNECT
STEP#3 ASK
Please.
The equation only works if you’ve added to your “social capital.” Once you a positivenumber, it’s easier to ask for help and feel confident that you’ll receive it with warmth.
STEP#3 ASK
STEP#4 THANK +RECIPROCATE
It’s a circle.
When done well, you have ever widening circles that overlap, change and grow.
STEP#4 THANK +RECIPROCATE
