How to become more valuable

Since this month’s upcoming webinar is on Developing Strategic Habits, I wanted to talk how becoming more valuable and being more strategic are connected.

What do I mean by “being strategic”?

  • The opposite of reacting immediately and equally to everything

  • Deciding on purpose, how you want to invest your time, and doing it
  • Conceiving of, leading, and implementing necessary change and transformation
  • Understanding investments, impact, outcomes, costs, risks and consequences

Kids would struggle to make it long enough, using extra large margins, leaving a big gap under the title, and/or by writing really big. Read More

Don't confuse networking with selling

Authentic Networking

I have written many articles about Authentic Networking, that are about using a genuine, generous approach to building your “extra team”.

We all need this type of network.

  • No one wants to listen to you
  • No one gets why you are right
  • Everyone seems to WANT to go slower (and it is infuriating)
  • You resent having to make the effort of “bringing people along”
