A connection a day keeps the business doctor away

It feels good to share. It could be your expertise, a useful connection for someone, opening doors, being a mentor. With a single daily dose of “giving”, a simple and remarkably sweet pill, you can do you and your business the world of good.

“One of the most effective and robust ways to boost your happiness and your performance at work” according to Wharton’s youngest Professor, Adam Grant, is to simply lend your colleagues a helping hand. How hard can it be?

By giving of ourselves we cultivate our caring gene and in doing so we’re able to demonstrate a clarity as to what we, or our business, is all about. Do this and people are left in no doubt of what you and your business can offer, what your expertise is, and by sharing this we make it easier for others to recommend us too.

To top it off, when you give, people do, it seems, give back, be it to you or others. Hardly a great revelation .. old as the hills in fact.. “pay it forward.. “reap and you will sew” ..”make deposits in the karma bank”. However you think about it though,  this is a pretty handy merry-go-round to be on and the website has some good thought starters there too.
