This weekend marks the anniversary of the Titanic ship sinking 100 years ago. Investigations focused on the role radio interference might have played in the effort by some to notify the Titanic that they were surrounded by dangerous icebergs that fateful night. Similarly, our people network can act as a life line for receiving reliable information that keeps us afloat in the rough seas of the business world.
Making sure our network is constantly nurtured and fed keeps communication lines open to keep a career or business from sinking. Having the latest business intelligence is most reliable from our personal connections, rather than reading old news.
People are more willing to share information, when it is a request from someone who stays in touch regularly. . In his article, Dig Your Well Before You Need the Water, Rod Colon talks about nourishing, expanding, and regularly pinging your network.
The best networking is done when you don’t need anything. Staying in touch with your network is the premiums paid up front for life insurance we may need later when looking for a job, getting new clients or helping a family member in a time of need.
