Wanna be more attractive?

The following is good advice in your work space and life too.

This follows the theme from Richard Leider's workshop on Tuesday November 18th-yes you can still register and listen in to the

recording-well worth it for the rich content!

All about engaging an additional 25% of energy and good will to  your work even if you are unhappy

and worried about losing the job you dislike-a paradox in today's world.

Best way to shift everything….Give more of you and yourself.

We are more attractive when we practice
giving, receiving, and saying thank you!

Today's tip is provided by  Donna Fisher, author of People Power, Power Networking and Professional Networking for Dummies.

Donna invites us to imagine what would happen if in every situation you asked for something, offered something,

and thanked the other person for their support and contribution to your life!

This process keeps the flow of networking/giving and receiving present in every conversation,

it creates stronger relationships and it provides a ripple effect of opportunities.

It will take some courage and creativity on your part to always be prepared to ask for something.

Yet, it is the asking that creates trust and opens the door to results.

The power is in having all three components present in every conversation so that you are served,

the other person is honored, and gratitude is expressed.

To put this process into practice, make a list of resources you need and the contributions you can offer.

Then, in every conversation, pay attention to what the other person is saying and which request and offer is a fit for that conversation.

When you're not sure what to offer, you can say, I'd like to be of help in some way, what can I do for you?

When you're not sure what to ask for, you can say, I'm focused on accomplishing xyz this week, any suggestions you might have for me?

The thanks part should be easy to accomplish. Thank people for their time, their friendship, their business, their support.

Take a moment to identify what it is that you appreciate about them and the conversation that you had with them, and

be sure to thank them for the gift of relationship.

As a reminder to yourself, take a moment to write the phrase, ASK-OFFER-THANKS, on your Daily Plan and look at it throughout the day.

Then, just be aware and ready for your relationships, joy, and opportunities to accelerate!

Now That's Attractive!

PS WOW Talk about feeling honored-Seth Godin (you regular readers know he is one of my heroes) thanked me by responding to my post yesterday on his latest movement called TRIBES-less than one hour after it was posted!
