People are more likely to connect with a person or want to reciprocate a good deed with a good deed. Utilize specials days like Valentine's Day to reconnect with members of your network that you value. Staying connected is about looking for opportunities to reconnect or stay connected to individuals important to you. Although most of our interactions will be for a tangible purpose don't discount how a day like "Valentine's Day" can be all the connection you need. What you are hoping to achieve is an ongoing connection with someone so when you do need to call on them for assistance it is not the first time they have heard from you in years!
Over the years Valentine's Day has morphed into lover's day when in reality it is an international day of caring. Take time out of the hectic world we live in to remember a friend, family member, colleague and remind them they are important. It may seem small and trivial at times to you but your kindness could mean everything to a person who is struggling at the time. Your network needs to be nurtured and days like today are a wonderful time build on those wonderful relationships you have developed over time.
There is no better way to solidify a relationship than to show someone you care! Remember members on their birthdays, during holidays or create your own special "connection day" each year!
