Question: Do you remember back in the day, when Boston commuters could find “Missed Connections” in the newspaper?

It was a column where people tried to reconnect with someone they crossed paths with but didn’t get the chance to follow up with.

Things like…
“To the woman with the blue scarf on the Red Line: We made eye contact, but I couldn’t work up the courage to say hello. If you see this, coffee?”

Sounds romantic, right?

But in business, missed connections are missed opportunities. ❌

Meeting someone at a networking event, a conference, or even on a Zoom call is just the start. The real magic happens when you have a strategy for following up:

✨ Send that email
✨ Share an article or idea that made you think of them
✨ Invite them to coffee or a virtual catch-up

Relationships don’t thrive by accident. They’re built intentionally.

Don’t let your connections fade into the “what could have been” category.

Introverts, your networking game is STRONG! 💥

If the thought of walking into a room full of strangers gives you pause, remember: your introverted tendencies are actually a superpower in the world of networking.

You’re a natural listener 🧠 - making meaningful first connections.

You plan ahead 📅 - always prepared and never caught off guard.

You prioritize quality over quantity 🔗 - building deep, long-lasting relationships.

Networking doesn’t have to be loud or overwhelming to be effective.

Embrace your introverted strengths and watch your network grow stronger over time! 💪

I’ve been doing so many keynotes lately that in the past 6 weeks I’ve been on…

🛩️ 8 planes
🚆 2 trains
🚗 10 automobiles (ok - they’re called Ubers in 2024)

I just couldn’t help but think of the classic John Hughes movie Planes, Trains & Automobiles and I had to share! 😂

While it’s been an incredible whirlwind of new faces and places, there’s a part of me that yearns for the thrill of travel and the chance to experience different cultures, sights, and sounds. 🌍✨

But, there’s also nothing like the comfort of coming home, sleeping in your own bed, and getting back to your familiar routine. 🏡💤

Do you travel for work? If you do, is it an awesome adventure for you, or are you counting the days to get back to your own bed? Share your thoughts and stories in the comments below! Let’s see who among us are the true adventurers and who are the homebodies. 😊

Next week I’m headed to speak at the Women Conference in New Orleans and I love the theme - Unmask Your Potential.

And the thing about having a strong network - an amazing group of people in your corner - is that sometimes they will see your potential before you do.

Your advocates, mentors, business besties, and family and friends could be the folks to help you see the things in you that you’re overlooking.

That’s why it’s so important to build a strong network - and to not think of networking as just schmoozing with people in your industry or potential clients.

Your network is made up of EVERYONE in your life. And those are the folks who are not only going to help you unmask your potential - but also help you reach yours. 💪

I can’t wait to get down to New Orleans for this awesome conference, to meet Rothenberger, LEED AP, PMP in person for the very first time (thank you McMillion Stemann for the intro) and to sneak in a few beignets. 😬

Do you know someone who’s just graduated? 🎓

My book This S**t Works make a great graduation present. It’ll rewrite the stories you’ve told yourself about networking and make it more about just making friends.

It’s super practical advice about how to start and build your network.

And it’s a fun easy read for the summer. 😎

You can grab it at Amazon or Barnes & Nobles!

Alright! I’m staying in Nashville for a bit after the conference.

You know how I’m always saying there’s no such thing as “work friends” and “real friends.” They’re all just friends!

I’m hanging out with my friends .sheerin and to see a little more of the city!

What should we do?

Happy 4th of July from Warren Vermont! 🇺🇸

They have a well known 4th of July Parade where anybody can be in the parade.

🇺🇸 Make a float
🇺🇸 Put on a diaper
🇺🇸 Grab a coconut bra
🇺🇸 Hand out some jello shots
🇺🇸 Gather up your gay lumberjacks for jesus

You can do what you want!

Chris and I have had a house here for 17 years and we always make sure to be there for this amazing parade of people just letting their freak flags fly.

It means different things to different people, but one things for sure, it brings this small town community together for some summertime fun!

How are you spending the 4th this year? 💥
