2:05
actually a crystal ball chap
2:09

2:21
that if you get it right will determine your success in your career
2:24
the ability to connect with people Harvard

anything that you do in life the cool things that you can do in life

2:56
so if you get good at this your careers guess or
3:00
let people call this networking networking so hot right now and people
3:06
think
3:07
%uh and to them this you and people think
3:11
although I I don’t like my job I’ve gotta go network
3:14
and networking isn’t something you do really it’s something you live
3:18
and it’s as easy as
3:21
meeting new people and developing a relationship that you have
3:25
not just me
3:29
job before you need a job before you need a new client
3:33
harvey mckay has

awesome but how did your well before you’re thirsty has numerous
3:44
its it’s fantastic it’s a love story is that he’s kinda learn throughout his
3:49
life and that’s why the bus I’ll talk about at the end
3:51
on exon exon book I would definitely pick it out then
3:55
has chapters a real short easy to get frail lot a great lessons here but
3:59
this is the concept here well before you thirsty before you
4:03
you know you found out your company is on laying off folks
4:07
do these kinds of things now what other things do that so much when I thought
4:14
was just brilliant
4:14
is when you connect with people it’s not about you at all
4:18
when you meet new people it’s not about you networking is not going to an event
4:23
in
4:24
and feeling oh my gosh something’s gonna judge me
4:27
have to be interests and I have to do all these things it’s not about you
4:32
networking in connection with people speaking out the other person wants
4:35
how can I help the other person and showing up
4:39
completely differently you know instead of what do they have to give me
4:43
we have a job that I might want it’s how can I help them
4:46
connect with someone that maybe they don’t know that would be really
4:49
beneficial for them to now
4:51
have someone said some if you know I were to meet someone new and they start
4:55
thinking
4:56
what can I do to help care for her business help her grow her business
4:59
and they have that attitude you better
5:04
I would sash a tractor I’m
5:07
I would think it’s only what can I do to help another person
5:10
know they’re thinking about me they’re not thinking about them at all
5:14
sense guys same
5:20
and I think this is really important to be interests dead
5:23
don’t worry about being interesting
5:27
takes the pressure off young have to have a million stories
5:30
is have to ask the other person about then
5:33
find out dig into what it is that they me
5:37
one thing that’s really helpful to you is task
5:40
open-ended questions we just heard about this
5:44
ask questions start with what’s and how
5:48
how did you become a project manager how did you get into this why do you like
5:51
doing this
5:52
that’s a why question but 0k
5:55
and forth mineral I’m ask questions and get the other person engaged because I
6:00
will guarantee they will think that you are the most
6:02
interesting person however that you’re brilliant because you care about them
6:11
and help others get what they want friends
6:14
before you ever ask for anything in return
6:18
zig ziglar has this awesome quote that you can have anything you want in life
6:22
as long as you help other people get what they want
