Networking depends on sharing. Sharing is the currency of friendship and at the core of what is your personal brand. Are you a guru who shares information, a connector who shares contacts, a thinker who shares ideas?

How you position YOU will determine how people perceive your personal brand. As well as you living true to that personal brand.

• Key is to ensure that whatever you want to share…then share in a way that is surprising, share a little more than they were expecting.

• Key is also finding ways to share – and this is where social media can play a HUGE part as it provides tools that make it easier to share not only with your immediate friends but the world.

Sharing is a way of showing how much you care. Friendships and networks are all about investment, investing time and energy to allow the relationship to grow.
