How To Strengthen Your Social Network!

Posted January 9, 2011

In this week’s podcast we talk about 6 ways for you to strengthen your social network.

1) Embrace a Relationship Nurturing Mindset. Why you should consider an attitude of giving, unconditionally and without a scorecard. I suggest an awesome book on the subject too!

2) Begin Your Relationships With Impact: If you and I are connection #2000, how do we begin the process of standing out? How to create a dialog from the word “Go”

3) Become Visible and Give Relentlessly: If everyone has a story and wants to be heard, how can we leverage that? How to look for and leverage “Social Cues”, that is things that can serve as a conversation starter. 3 kick ass ways for you to become a valuable matchmaker.

4) Expand & Cross Pollinate: The importance of connecting on multiple platforms. I offer two nifty ways for you to create new places for you to interact with your network.

5) Transition Virtual to Real Time: Relationships are so much more valuable when we move them off our computer screens. I offer several suggestions on how to this.

6) Continue to Nurture . . . with the understanding that things change and just because things don’t transition today, doesn’t mean they won’t tomorrow.  I offer a valuable Plan B.

  1. This was a great listen. Most important message – people are interested in themselves – it’s not about me! Why do we continually need to be reminded of that? All of life is learning….

  2. Paul.. I listened to this on the way home from work today. It is one of the best podcasts that I have ever heard! Thanks so much for the insight in to the incredibly important topic of your social network.

      1. You are welcome Paul! This excellent content made my normally long drive home from work much shorter today. It got me pumped up to make sure that my social networking is where it needs to be. Have a great evening….
