254(a) How do you engage with your network?

When you take the time to get to know your connections amazing things happen.

I was invited by a new connection, @Gwen Le, to a zoom meeting for lawyers.

There were a few other non-lawyers present. There was an IT professional and a research professional.

By now, you all know that I LOVE LAWYERS!

It was such a pleasure, and daunting, to hear each one of these professionals describe their area of expertise.

I was in a room of highly qualified specialists and it felt GREAT.

One of them was a LegalShield referral attorney, which made my day.

Taking the time to connect and engage with my connections has given me a greater scope of meeting new and amazing people.

I now have 9 new connections with whom I engaged even before connecting. I can give them recommendations and send referrals their way when possible.

Keep in mind that everyone you connect with has their own network.

Have you ever asked someone in your network for a warm introduction?

That is where the networking begins. Reach out.

Engage with someone new today. You never know where it will take you.
