Being selfishly generous with your time and skills

 

Ok, taking another crack at this podcasting thing to start the week…

This one is only 5 minutes!

The theme of this podcast is about seeking the win-win between helping yourself and others, in particular why I have a networking meeting before 8am almost every weekday.

I often get called a sucker for “giving” so much to others. People advise me it’s not a “smart” way to live my life. Then I explain how everything I do to give, has a return value to me in network bench-strength and skill building. I’d love your thoughts, please comment below or on twitter…

 

Links mentioned in the podcast:

• Setting up the “informational interview” or coffee meeting
• What book can help me make my “networking / job growth” plan?
• My best networking book list

Hope to see you at my August 29th free networking event!
