In this season of giving, we really should all look hard at what we do to share and make the lives of others better. As networkers, we work hard to make our businesses successful by reaching out to others to make connections. But what if we channeled that expertise to something a bit more charitable?
Reading the “Point After” page in the December 28 issue of Sports Illustrated inspired me. In Selena Roberts’ column, she writes about pro athlete Jeremy Bloom and his start-up foundation, Wish of a Lifetime (www.si.com). Jeremy created this foundation to support the wishes of the elderly poor. Inspired by the selflessness of his own grandparents, Jeremy helps elderly poor people realize dreams they could never realize by themselves.
The point of all this is that Jeremy took his talents and channeled them to good. While all don’t have lots of bucks to start and maintain a foundation, we do have the talent has networkers to bring people together. It doesn’t cost anything to talk to people and it certainly doesn’t cost anything to connect them.
Think about connecting those that need with those that have. Merry Christmas.
