WANTED: FRIENDProspective candidates will…
Allow me to be myself, and love me for it
Affirm my best qualities (especially when I am feeling insecure)
Call out the best in me, and hold me accountable to the best version of myself
Listen without judging or trying to fix me
Give me the benefit of the doubt
Give me a break when I am grumpy or having a bad day
Know what I like
Love me regardless of my past
Spend time with me, just because they enjoy my company
Speak well of me when I am not in the room
Speak the truth to me when no one else will
Never shame me, diminish me, or make me feel small
Become excited about what I am excited about
Celebrate my victories!
List taken from The Power of Who workbook, Bob Beaudine

Summary
Networking like your job depends on itIt’s not about meeting tons about people –
know your Who friends vs. everyone else
Maintain relationships with your Who friends using the 3 R’s: remember, reach out, reconnect
Know what you want to become – create a strong elevator speech for yourself, write a blog to become an expert and meet others like you, use social media to connect to the online community
