Acknowledge the Good That You Already Have

Heard of social media right? It’s media that is social. Have you heard about social interviewing?

It’s interviewing that is social.

Some people call it a coffee chat. It’s also how to generate interviews ā€œon demandā€.

80% of jobs are found via networking, The balance requires being really good at face-to-face interaction. People hire people, not resumes.

Yet, for as many people telling me they had a great coffee chat, people say ā€œnetwork doesn’t workā€œ.

At any age, we all have sthg we haven’t done before. Even for an experienced American executive, coffee chats can be ā€œlearning how to ride a bicycleā€œ.

The best way I’ve found to help people produce great results is to guide them on exactly what to do and say in the ā€œbefore during and afterā€. That just seems the best way to accelerate somebody ā€œlearning how to ride the bicycleā€œ.

Aren't You Worried About the State of the World?

Someone asked me, "Aren't you worried about the state of the world?" I allowed myself to breathe and then I said, "What is most important is not to allow your anxiety about what happens in the world to fill your heart.

Anxiety is the illness of our age. We worry about ourselves, our family, our friends, our work, and the state of the world. If we allow worry to fill our hearts, sooner or later we will get sick.
