Networking

By networking you dont only keep your motivation high, you also realize how much you can benefit by doing it. Networking.

I got a very good compliment and reference from one of my best colleagues that I was extremely good at networking all over the world, no matter profile, profession, rich or poor. I am very happy for that compliment and I just had to do some serious reflection about that. How come and what is the reason? Is there any strategic thinking behind it or what is it?

After a lot of thinkings I just have to be honest and realize the simple truth,
I get very happy to meet people. I love the interaction, listen to people, se new personalities, listen to their experiences, life adventure, interests or any other things they want to share. So I guess it is all about sharing. Sharing the energy and chemistry that is around. And many people really wants to share.

Today I met my network of managers within Nordea for some hours and that just confirmed my passion and effort to keep on doing that.

Sometimes you just realize that it is the meeting with people that make you grow and make you feel alive. At least for me.

I remember when I first saw and met Benjamin Zander, the Boston philharmonica conductor, speaking at a conference and he really touched me with his energy and inspiration which was so clear and honest.

I was not surprised that more then me felt that and some of us in the audience just had to wait after the speak to just say hello and thank you.

I truly wish he was in my network. On the other hand, he will always be on my mind and that is also a very good and probably the best way to learn and interact.

Give people an A, we all deserve that.
