Last week, a friend asked me how I knew an influential builder in our city. The questions came on the heels of an extended conversation about the information I had about his plans for constructing a building on Main Street in our city. It wasn’t insider news or even facts that weren’t available to anyone else. I happened to know because I asked questions that resulted in an extended conversation that produced insights. So… how did you meet the builder?
I talked with a stranger. LeadershipOnRamp seeks to develop leaders with a heart for their city who take time to meet people and know the issues faced in their neighborhoods. As a way of meeting people, I often walk around my neighborhood, as well as others. When I meet people, I look for common areas of interest to build a relationship. FYI… I don’t know why this works, but walking with a dog…
