Q&A
  • Why is getting connected important to make things happen?

    People make things happen, so the better connected you are to a wide range of people with different views, experience and backgrounds, the more likely you are to achieve your aims.

  • What is the best connection you have made or received?

    I met Chris Wright, author of ‘Your Wake Up Call’, whilst setting up local currency projects in Manchester. We have worked on many projects together since then.

  • What are your top tips for making great connections?

    Be open, listen really attentively, ask open questions, help foster reciprocity by giving first, find a reason to get back in touch and keep in touch.

  • What tools or resources do you use to keep in touch with people?

    Phone, email, Skype, meetings, meals, events, sending books and articles I think they will enjoy or benefit from.
