The magic of networking and how to network

Posted by Si Ekin on Wednesday, September 14, 2011, In : Networking 
No man is an island, entire of itself. John Donne, 17th Century.

Sometimes this world feels disparate and unconnected. It is as if we are on our own, fighting it out. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. We are made of the same cellular matter; we are connected. Therefore, any opportunity to connect that cellular energy and to move it in the right direction with a meaningful intention, can only be good.

Let me give you an example. 

I was introduced to my new friend Alex Cresswell-S...

The art and sheer power of keeping promises...

Today I created as being an "all tick day." A day when I planned it and delivered on what I said. I was mindful in setting up realistic targets but also ones that I knew would be a stretch.

So, I get to 21:15 at night and there are still four things I have done that I most certainly don't feel like doing. They will take me about 25 minutes.

My mind starts with it's usual monologue and thinks it is a great idea to go to bed now, get up early and complete the outstanding days commitments tomorro...

Current Projects:

1st May - 30 July - 90 Talks In 90 Days

Between 1st May and 30th July I embarked on a project: 90 talks in 90 days. I systematically confronted and shattered my deepest fears of rejection, failure and judgement in the hope of inspiring others to do the same. I blogged about it every day and had a crew film it once per week. It was a remarkable, delightful, challenging and absurd journey. 


Why 90 Talks In 90 Days?

Some years ago I got on a bus in Brixton, London and my life changed forever. I confronted my deepest fear: conquering my fear of rejection by making a speech to passengers on a packed number 59. I was stunned by the power I had within me and my ability to transform a group of complete, disparate strangers. Before, the crowd was positively funereal, after they were more like a rowdy wedding reception. On my way out, I was confronted by an extremely fearful individual and had an experience that makes me smile to this day.  I learned that if you confront your fears (illusions) with courage, anything is possible. My life became about helping people to be courageous in pursuit of what is important to them. Here I am, above, doing the talk one morning on a bus at the airport here in Cape Town.

Stand by - it might make your toes curl! For videos from the 90 days, look below.
