The Super Power of Human Connections

 

It’s under a week till The London Business Show opens its doors to inspirational speakers, hopeful exhibitors, and wondering adventurers.  And I for one, cannot wait for another fabulous two days of touching base with existing connections and making new ones.

This forum was amongst the first, when I started my Personal Revolution journey some four years ago.  I had reached a stage in life where I needed more out of work and life.  But I didn’t even know how to go about getting it. 

That’s when I became an adventurer.  On first entry to the exhibition hall, I felt a huge sense of overwhelm.  I was supposed to meet my friend there, but she had an emergency come up and couldn’t make it.  So I took a deep breath and I walked in with a big smile.

I was amazed at how easy it was to engage with the exhibitors and the speakers.  Most of them were happy to offer information and guidance when I asked for it.  Some of those individuals went on to become much valued mentors.  They are still my go to people when I need guidance and support.  

I couldn’t believe the kind of conversations I ended up having with co-explorers who returned my smile with a smile and shared their story over coffee and lunch.  Some of those became friends and accountability buddies. 

And that in essence is the power of networking in a positive forum; where we can invest in our personal development, building our valuable network.  And of course remember the utterly sweet power of serendipity, not to mention credibility by association.  How knowing one influential person can lead you to having some of your biggest champions and mentors in turn.

I’ve had the pleasure of being engulfed in a kind of support which money can’t buy by some phenomenal entrepreneurs.  All because I plucked up the courage to enter an arena that was alien to me.  I was willing to become a student all over again and learn from some of the best.  I stepped well and truly outside my comfort zone when I entered that arena.  Today, I reap the rewards of the discomfort I felt at the time.   

In light of all the love and support I’ve received unconditionally, I’d love to give back and share the love.  If you are looking to start your own journey of personal revolution and are going to the business show, send me a PM and we’ll catch up over a cuppa.  

I’m happy to see how I can help you, or connect you with someone who can.  If you’re not going to the business show, let’s organise a video call and see how I can support you.  Please feel free to like, share and comment if you think your network would benefit from this post.  Send me a private message if I can be of any service to you.

 

Love and strong coffee
