October is Networking Month! Actually, every day, week, and month holds multiple opportunities to meet new people. Make the most of your time and energy.
- Find events that are in alignment with your personal and/or professional missions
- Before committing to events and meetups, check your availability. You do not want to get overscheduled and overwhelmed
- Reach out to new contacts on LinkedIn. Send a connection request along with a note about where and how you met
To learn more about #EventOutcomeOptimization join my Pre-Event Planning Workshop – aka P.E.P. Talk – on October 6 at 11am PT. Use code “Newsletter” for 20% off.
Individual and team consulting are also available.
Resource: Goal-Setting Simplified on SocialTrust
Deb Coman invited me to join her #SocialTrust Twitter chat and Spaces conversation. We covered:
- The key to successful goal-setting
- What stops people from achieving their goals
- How to consistently work toward your goals
Read the Twitter chat recap and listen to our Twitter Spaces conversation.
Goal of the Week: Social Media Engagement
Make a wish list of 5 to 10 potential prospects, partners, or interviewees. Follow them on LinkedIn – and/or other social media channels. Then spend time commenting on their social media posts, so you get on their radar.
