The Engaging Brand
Show 453 - The Necessity of Strangers
The Engaging Brand podcast covering social marketing, business ideas and brand marketing tips has a new episode.
- How talking to strangers may be the missing part of our own personal development.
- The balance between feeling comfortable enough to share and yet the need to speak to strangers.
- How the mechanism of the world wide web allows us to connect but have we learned to drive the value from those social networks?
- Is our own potential judged on our 5 closest friends (From Word of Mouse podcast) or our 5 closest strangers?
- It is not who you know...but who you could know....But how do you know who you should know!
- How our prejudice to speakers is often implicit - and how we can learn to be more open in our management style
- How retreating to an off site session makes you more insular - how you can be more innovative from going to strange places rather than a darkened room.
- How will you make new friends if you DON'T talk to strangers.
- How connecting with our own 'inner stranger' can help our personal development.
