In networking, there are 3 kinds of people – those who wait and watch for things to happen, those who make things happen, and those who wonder what the heck just happened
A catalyst is one who makes things happen. Without a catalyst, there is no spark and nothing much gets done.
There are 3 characteristics shared by catalytic people:
- Initiative – Catalytic people don’t sit still – they make things happen in all aspects of their lives. As networkers, catalytic people learn the goals of others in order to help people get where they wish to be.
- Confidence – Catalytic people have confidence in themselves and in the players on their team. Their confidence is contagious, and they tend to bring out the best in others.
- Motivation – Catalytic people are not only motivated themselves, but they can also motivate others to perform at their highest potential
Are you a catalyst in your networking world?
