“In this mighty field, all things come to be An energetic tapestry of wants and desires Predicated on a dialectical free flow Where thoughts and words emerge Molded and shaped through connection Seeking through meaning making Spawning a co-creation of ideas Transformed into a dialectical triumph”

Getting the conversation started is the first step toward networking mastery. By putting oneself ‘out there’, the possibility of connection making emerges.

And out of connection making, a sense of meaning takes place. Whether that be a one on one or a small group dynamic conversation.

The first words spoken, therefore, must be predicated on an intention.

Setting the intention before starting the conversation provides the first steps towards the act of contributing something meaningful to the conversation.

Intentions are directed by our Character Strengths. When your character strengths shine through your intentions, transparent, genuine connection is possible.

For example, if you desire to showcase an authentic brand in your marketing, the character strengths along with the mission becomes the cornerstone on which your brand resonates then connects with people.

Connecting can mean finding common ground, common purpose, and incredible opportunities

We evolved to connect. It’s part of Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs.

In the Legacy Leaders program, one of our key principles is “Always be Coaching” and “Always Be Connecting”. It is our ABC foundational principles that we integrate into our client’s journey.

So, when you are prospecting, whether sending a message, on a phone call or mingling at a networking event, start the conversation by first setting your intention 

Happy connecting
