Motivating your Mind…Inspiring your Spirit

February 20, 2015 by Brenda Leave a Comment

Building relationships enables us to explore possibilities and then work together for mutual advantage.  The benefits are enormous. 

Through my membership of the NSAA (National Speakers Association of Australia) I met Rob Salisbury, Director of Strategic Resources International who is based in Singapore, Sydney and the USA.   And it was through the same organisation and through Rob that I was introduced to Monika Newman of Absolutely Virtual, who is based in Sydney.  

I am delighted to have again been invited to be a contributing author to their excellent e-book ‘Motivating your Mind … Inspiring your Spirit’.   Congratulations to Rob and Monika on initiating, co-ordinating and completing yet another excellent e-book.  This 2015 edition contains 107 stories written by over 95 contributors.  And they are based in many different countries.

My invitation is to you, the reader is to download your complimentary copy of this new e-book by:

  1. Going to http://bit.ly/SRI_2015_e-book
  2. Then clicking on the download button in the top right hand corner of your screen or right-click on the download button
  3. Select save page to Dropbox or save to your computer.

You’ll have your own copy of ‘Motivating your Mind…Inspiring your Spirit’ which you are welcome to share with others.

My two articles, ‘Broken Biscuits’ and ‘Don’t worry, be happy’ appear on pages 35 and 36.  Enjoy reading the stories. And as you read them, think of the power of networking, building relationships.  Without my Australian friendships I would not have been invited to contribute stories to this book – and I would therefore not have shared them with you!  Thank you for being part of my network. 

For more information on training in networking skills please see www.strategy-leadership.com or contact Brenda on brenda@ strategy-leadership.com or +27 82 4993311.

122: Networking benefits updated

July 14, 2013 by Brenda Leave a Comment

It is always interesting watching a sense of ‘community’ develop during our six-week ‘Enhance Your Executive Skills’ (‘EYES’)  courses. Friendship and support are important factors in facilitating development. 

In line with their building positive relationships, during our latest course, participants listed the following as their perceived top benefits of networking: 

  • Fast-tracking the introductory process - going from ‘hello’ to quality conversation in a short space of time.
  • Progressing through building relationships to exploring possibilities and meaningful action for mutual benefit.
  • Growing strong and sustainable friendships with like-minded people.
  • Having a sense of connection and belonging.
  • Building trust and respect.
  • Through visibility, gaining influence and reputation.
  • Promoting personal brand and possibly business brand.
  • Building confidence through support and being able to develop and test innovative ideas
  • Improving self-validation.
  • Sharing experiences and appreciation.
  • Listening and learning more about different cultures and diverse groups thus leading to greater understanding.
  • Increasing our frame of reference.
  • Enhancing an attitude of ‘how can I help you to help me help someone else’?
  • Developing more selfless and honest relationships.
  • Understanding ‘internal politics’, power and influence
  • Learning, awareness of trends and access to information.
  • Saving time and money.
