What to Read, Watch And Win
I harp on a lot about listening to your network, and that when you do, you may discover more about yourself that you previously imagined.
Well. Talk about having to take my own advice (again) my network has been revealing rather informative #BYDN insights and applications for me.
Read “How to use “the why filter” to save yourself from burnout”.
As Caitlin Harper notes in her blog post:
“Many of us are facing remote event fatigue right now and using “the why filter” is helping me manage my time and avoid burnout.”
Oh yeah. How full is your calendar? How much FOMO are you experiencing by not adding more to it?
Pulling from Build Your Dream Network in her post, Caitlin highlights my “why” filter (at page 29 of Build Your Dream Network):
Here’s “the why filter” she uses:
- Is the opportunity aligned with my goal(s)?
- Will my participation add value to the other attendees and be valuable for me?
- Does the opportunity expand my network and/or strengthen existing relationships?
- What does my gut say?
If you’re stressed by the state of your over-booked quarantine networking calendar, I recommend you take a read of Caitlin’s post (don’t just take my word for it that the why filter works).
Watch: How #BYDN readers are putting the words into action.
I’ve connected with a couple of readers of Build Your Dream Network recently because they have posted about HOW they are using #BYDN in their businesses and tagged me in the posts. Remember? I did say commenting, tagging, and book reviews were networking! As a result of those posts, I reached out to connect — and tap them for interviews.
