Flexin' my connect game.

 

I have known for quite sometime that I'm the guy that puts the right people together. I might not be the negotiator but I'm the one that gets two sides into a room together. All that I do isn't something I talk about often because I want to make those connections on my own. I worry about people wondering who I know and if they find out try to manipulate their way into a situation. Trust is the key that makes things work. So I have to evaluate the resource and the person I'm going to connect to them before I get them together. 

Today I decided after all these years I should toot my own horn for a minute. For years I've found myself in rooms, rooms that people probably wondered why I was there. I listen, recall people that might benefit from knowing this person or organization.  

I don't even remember the last time I put people together and it didn't work. I'm careful to listen to people and what they are looking for. When I match someone I ask questions to get details and try to make sure I'm making the right connection. I think I did a good job today, I can't speak on what it was but I think its a good connect and it gets something started ahead of a lot of other people because I had early knowledge. I have another connect from this resource that I'm going to work this afternoon. Hopefully this works out also. 

I don't gain anything from most of these connections. There are times I might get something but I don't really care. Its something that comes natural to me and doesn't require a lot of work. Its just be listening and seeing the connection. I'm sure its a job classification out here for this and with me dealing with money issues I need to find that job LOL. 

This is one of my talents I never really tell anyone. I just do it.
