network more with people

Although it hasn’t led anywhere, I’ve talked to classmates and instructors in my class. It was nice.

I took the opportunity to talk with people a bit, but I’m not sure it’ll go anywhere. But I’m meeting people and finding out what they do.

I will be starting an internship and taking a couple of classes, so hopefully this will be a new opportunity for me!

why im here well i want to tallk to a lot of people i want to listen to them i think im speaking a lot so if any one want to say anything about anything im gone tell him i promise i will help and i will do my best to listen to you

Well, I’m still working on this. I think the key to networking for me is to do things that are worthwhile—in the sense that I’m not going solely to schmooze. So far I’m taking a couple of classes and I’m going to do an orientation to be a literacy tutor.

I am seeing many factions now. I am at glass class/Country dancing Monday, Choir Tuesday, Wednesday = Saskias group + following day. Saturday last was busy and this Saturday I am willow/bakers sheet in St Just Hall. Think I am cover this objective but now I feel I’m NEVER home

When I lost my job in 2008, I realized just how poorly connected I really was. I’ve done a good job of networking within the organization for which I work, but a poor job of networking outside the boundaries of the company.

I am going to get out at least twice a month and attend Meetups for networking for entrepreneurs.

I have people from the local supermarket checkout smile at me now, so thats something. I also met a relation who Mim knew and I didnt. Our great grandparents were brothers and I met her and her 5 year old daughter. We chatted for a while and again I was more chatty.

I think a lot of what held me back was my weight prob (fast diminishing). I remember me being bubbly and perky in 1492 when I was still a young kid lol :-)

I have conscientiously started to be more chatty and ask people more about their lives. I tried harder with Titch’s girlfriend and she opened up a HELL of an amount more than usual. Mostly about the weird and wonderful(she believes that the place she lives/works in is haunted) but its a start.

People like to talk about themselves and Jay and myself dont ask enough about others – Jay especially justs talks about his woes and i want to give him some airspace, then nip him in the bud lol
