The Morphing of the Circle



A special thanks to Frank for inviting me to guest blog on Building Circles.  

Frank and I have known each other for more than 3 years – starting out as network acquaintances, moving to a client relationship and going further to become friends where we also hang out together with our spouses.   

When I reflect, I like to think about that Circle is always building or growing or morphing.  It can almost be described as an aura.

Take your business as a Circle – it certainly does not sit stagnant...it grows, it moves, it’s focus develops, it’s client change while all at the same time, keeping together around your business.

Take your network as a Circle – it evolves, it morphs as your business grows, it actually changes as YOU change and grow.  Some people slip out, while others slip in.  This works.  Your network needs to have life.

Take Yourself as a Circle – you grow, you morph, you exude energy, you radiate, you attract.  This is your special genius – who you are.  Your circle starts with the definition of you.  And you never stop evolving.

As leaders in our business and our community, we need to know that circles interconnect.  The do not necessarily become connected as they do overlap.  This creates great opportunity for sharing resources, ideas, talent and alignment of values making what was once small, now larger.

Spend a few minutes today drawing out your circles.  See where they overlap.  Determine if there are any holes in the outline. (Think holes as missed processes, people overlooked, projects derailed)   

What can you do to make your ever-morphing circle fluid?
