Power Thought of the Week with Patricia Parham, Ph.D.
Create a Void
Oftentimes, we keep people in our networks, not because they’ve been helpful or because we like them; but to fill a potential need. When we go to them for exchange, however, the result is less than satisfactory. Create a void by releasing these persons from your network. It will create space for the right person to fill. After all, networks are not just about people, but the right people with the right energy at the right time.
Is the Net Wide enough?
Analyze your network against the goals you have set. Does the net include contacts in all areas of your business? Could some areas use a second or third level contact? Supplement your business goals with network goals. The holidays are a great time to meet new people in casual settings. Be sure to know who you’re looking for before you attend and affirm your intention of finding them when you arrive.
