Wondering Whether to Accept a LinkedIn Connection Invite?

Do you find yourself wondering whether to accept a LinkedIn connection invite? Many of my clients struggle with this. Keep in mind that unless you change your default setting, everyone who connects with you can see all your connections. Be wary of casually accepting an invite to connect, because that person’s motivation may be to access your connections. They may not be genuinely interested in you.   Deciding Whom to Connect with on LinkedIn Everyone takes a slightly different approach regarding accepting LinkedIn invites. In general, I advise my clients to be selective about whom connect they with on LinkedIn. [...]

Having Generosity of Spirit is Good for You and Your Business

I truly believe that having generosity of spirit is good for you and your business. A variation of this concept is called “giving away your best stuff.” On the face of it, having generosity of spirit and giving away your best stuff may not make sense. Yet, sharing valuable information and ideas for free pays off in the end. Many of us have been reflecting on how we can be of service to others during the COVID-19 era. As much as we would want it to be otherwise, this virus continues to remain part of our lives. We can each [...]
