Do share positively about your encounters with relevant people. A key issue in public conversations is the building of affinity. When you meet someone in real life (at a conference, for example), share positively about that encounter. This way, you offer the stage to the person you met while creating a positive link between you. If you do this kind of sharing in public, it builds your status and professional brand, and it reinforces in people’s minds your thought leadership and influence.
