Making a Difference

Are you making a difference?   Do you inspire others to make a difference or are you inspired by others who make a difference? (we may have to read that last line again).

Bringing your passion and positive energy to everything and everyone you interact with makes an impact.   I enjoy watching people turn everything into a positive light and make the best of any given situation.

On the business side, it is enjoyable to truly partner with clients to move their companies forward in a more efficient and profitable way by embracing technology.  

As a professional, connecting individuals and  creating opportunities for these individuals has a huge impact in making a difference.    It is such a joy watching a new person join a discussion and feel part of the Circle.

Making a positive difference for to everyone I interact with is one of my personal goals.

What are you doing to make a difference?

Lead by Example

Effective leaders know how to set good examples to lead their team.   What are you doing to lead by example?

Leaders strive to be consistent with the kind of behaviour expected.  Setting the bar high enough to challenge everyone yet not too high to discourage some of the members.

Focusing on the important tasks first and completing them before moving on to the next important task helps with the team understanding how to prioritize.  

Many teams have "busy" people focusing on tasks not related to the goals.   Leading by example and encouraging these members to prioritize better will result in more productive activities.

Facing challenges head on and addressing each one as it arises with a plan of action is another way to lead by example.   Do you know anyone who procrastinates?   How can an effective leader motivate the team to reduce the procrastination?

Teams who embrace their effective leader and learn by following the examples set, will learn how to blend their leader's style into their own style.   This type of culture leads to successful teams.

Connecting People

How do you connect people?

As a business networker, this is one of the self-rewarding activities I really enjoy.    Meeting people for the first time and on a regular basis provides the opportunity to get to know each person' story.

Connecting people together and making introductions to spark a good discussion leads to creative ideas and opportunities for everyone.   Watching the energy level between the like-minded people you just connected is the reward.  

We attend many events for business, for the community and for networking purposes.   What is your focus at these events?  Keep making your own connections and focus on connecting people together.   Watch your "circle" of conenctions grow.

Looking forward to making connections at the next event.
