You Are Doing This Critical Thing Whenever You Meet Someone

Every time you meet someone, you’re doing something that you don’t even realize you’re doing . . .. . . networking. You are always your brand. You are always demonstrating who you are and what you stand for wherever you go. Business or personal—both are happening at the same time.Sometimes people won’t remember you. Sometimes what you say will mean the world. But no matter what happens, it’s your choice everyday. 

“We are what we continually do.”

2 Minute Action

Compliment, express your gratitude, or do something kind for someone, today. On the train, at Starbucks, next to the water-cooler—it doesn’t matter where. It takes 2 minutes to make a difference. 

Your Secret Superpower . . .

I saw this on the Twitter machine a while back and it has been popping into my head recently:It takes 2 minutes, people.I can tell you about tactics and methods and frameworks and hacks and tips until we’re both blue in the face, but what is it that you’re working on?Is it worth the effort you’re putting in?Who is it helping?It might be worth looking into now, before your timer runs out and you begin to look back and wonder why you worked so hard—and for whom.

2 Minute Action:

Tell someone you appreciate their hard work , today.Send an old friend a text and let them know you are thinking of them.Leave a kind, anonymous post-it on a coworkers desk.You have more power than you think to change things around you.And the cool part is that it only takes 2 minutes.
