I don't care how advanced our internet and satellite technology gets. One of the most important skills for business will always be showing up. There will never be a replacement for reaching out and actually touching someone.
There’s an old story about Roger Maris that's a great illustration of this.
As the story goes, Maris was recruited to play football at the University of Oklahoma, but when his train got to Norman, the assistant football coach who was supposed to greet him wasn’t there. Discouraged, Maris got on a train back home, and chose to play minor league baseball in Cleveland’s farm system instead.
The rest, as they say, is history: Maris went on to win 2 MVP awards for the Yankees, to set the season home run record in 1961, and to play on three World Series-winning ball clubs.
That assistant coach should have shown up. Oklahoma missed out on quite the athlete.
I wonder if we all don’t make that mistake too much nowadays.
True, we live In a world where texting, emails, tweeting, facebooking and teleconferencing are dominating. But we can't forget that one of the most important skills for business and relationships is always going to be actually meeting people. There's just no substitute for the in-person feeling you get from someone.
That is a human condition, and it's not going to change no matter how good the machines get.
Make a list of the most important people in your life. And whom you most want to get to know.
When was the last time you actually met with them, in the flesh? When was the last time you broke bread with some of your key people, professional and personal?
There’s something about being in touch, but there’s something more to reaching out and being able to actually touch someone.
Call a key person right now and make a date with them.
Don’t let them get back on that train!
Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too
