Questions • What are my strong relationships? • What’s the balance between local and wider ones? • Where are the gaps if any? • What do I get and receive from my relationships? • Is the balance right? Are they working for me now and helping me to achieve what needs to be done and get where I want to go?
Action • Prioritise organisations and individuals to get to know • Review what you have to offer and what do you want • Consider how to go about this – what fits in with your personal style and ethics? attend a meeting, join a committee, work on a project, ask to shadow, ask to be mentee, meet for coffee or lunch…… • Talk it over with someone – mentor, co-coach, partner, boss • Do it!
