Building connections, building opportunities

I’ve been watching the results of a political election.

I’m seeing more and more ways that advancing professionally is fundamentally about building connections with people.  Creating and finding opportunities to connect with people and demonstrate one’s worth.  People who get ahead are seen and heard.  As an introvert, this doesn’t come naturally to me.

As I continue looking at this, I’m finding new ways see pending opportunities – which gives one the opportunity to STEP FORWARD and put oneself at the forefront of those opportunities by having something useful to say and/or do at the beginning.
