I would like to expand my circle of acquaintance. I’ve always been just “okay” at socializing, and have felt that I could be better at remembering peoples names. More than that, though, I feel that I don’t carry I high likable factor – there are some people that just naturally make friends and have an easy time getting along with others. I used to think I was one of those people, but am not so certain any longer. I don’t want to change who I am – I would fail to convince anyone that I’m a sport fan, for instance. I’m a bit different from the mainstream, but I believe that the key to this goal is caring about the lives and pursuits of others. I could be more of a mentor and coach to a broader circle of people.
I will start by calling my current list of friends more frequently. I will work to get up from my desk and pick up the phone more often at work. I will network to find my next job (see goal numero uno).
