How do you constantly keep healthy, thriving and authentic professional relationships? To reach the best business outcomes and achieve success, you need to invest in your network. This kind of relationship needs to be authentic. It takes dedication and commitment on your part. Three factors contribute to this success.
1. Be the leader of your Personal Brand.
You need direction, vision, and specific goals that will guide you in your mission. Your brand has to be clear and visible so that others know what to expect from you. When your professional network understands who you are, they will directly give you support.
2. “Give to Get.”
The most thriving relationships serve both parties. Always ask yourself what is in this relationship? Always think of your network and of ways to support each other; giving leads, helping solve a problem,etc.
3. Lead by example.
Be constantly aware of your actions, attitude and behavior. Remember to constantly practice the art of Civility,which is the act of love towards self and others. By being responsible, revered and righteous, you can make a difference and achieve the best outcomes.
Remember to apply these three steps daily in order to reach and maintain a fruitful, authentic and everlasting professional relationship.
