When your Friendly Forces share their goal with you, respond with a resource or connection that could help them.

When your Friendly Forces share their goal with you, and you know somebody who might be able to help them, offer to introduce them to each other.

You can ask your Friendly Forces how you can help them achieve their goals.

You can ask the person you'd like to connect with to tell you a little bit about themselves.

When connecting online, share a friendly non-salesy weclome to remind yourself how and when you met.

Demonstrating that you're interested in getting to know a person and what they're interested in, is an effective networking tactic.

Are you an early adopter of new tech? Or do you resist change like me?

Last Friday, while being coached by the fabulous Jocelyne Desautels, Effective Organizing, I realized that wearing my blue-tooth wired ear-buds during our session allowed me the freedom to move around while re-organizing my office systems.

A little context...

This spring, I started having trouble connecting to the Internet during online meetings, a huge barrier for someone who does most of my work online!

After a bunch of trouble-shooting I realized that my laptop was the problem, and switched to my back-up system, which includes a hard-drive tower, a huge screen, and a decent web-cam. I had problems getting the audio working, since my noise canceling headphones couldn't easily be connected to this system.

PS: I normally post content like this over the lunch hour. Today, I was in a client meeting, so I'm posting a bit later. I wonder what impact that will have on how many folks this post reaches?

Then, I realized that I could use the we**am microphone and the screen's speakers, most of the time...

When that didn't work, I could hook up the $20 blue-tooth ear-buds I purchased more than a year ago, for a road trip.

What I didn't realize until the meeting with my coach, was that the cheap ear-buds transmit my voice much better than the we**am microphone!

This is a reminder to myself that it's OK to experiment with new-to-me technology, so that I can provide a better experience to my clients.

And I'm thrilled with the insight that I can participate fully online, while not being tethered to my office chair!

I'm curious, have you adopted technology that is making your life easier?
