I have spent a few days talking about the power of networks. How do I meet people you might ask? People are everywhere if you haven’t noticed. At the checkout line, at your workplace, in church, at the mall.
We tend to be so busy that we are only involved in our little world of work and life. Saying hi, offering a helping hand, offering a listening ear are ways to engage other people. We don’t need to have any hidden agenda other than to be friendly.
I have developed lasting acquaintances with using the above. Going about our daily lives and being aware of people around us. God has a way of placing people in our lives. We need to be aware and available.
Have you graduated from college or university? They all have alumni clubs that allow people to keep in touch. How about industry associations? What work or profession are you involved in. For years I was a member of the local Lion’s club. I met a wide variety of business people through this organization.
Hobby clubs. This list is almost endless. You name a hobby and there is a high probability that there exists a club where people meet and share ideas.
Get involved, reach out, you will be glad you did.

Hi Jacques .. thanks for that .. friends are so important. having travelled and lived abroad .. my friends are scattered, but they're all good ones and we stay in touch and are always pleased to see each other.
They at least understand you and can support you ..
Have a good few days away ..I think you've gone away?

Hello Jacques,
An other way to meet people would be to volunteer, it does not matter where. Just find a place that needs some help. Put your talents to work in the helping of others you never know where that might lead to.
Thank you fro the great post.
