Green Eggs and a Networking Ham
"Green Eggs and a Networking Ham": A little humor to help you network better.
🎭 SCENE: FIREBALL approaches a STRANGER.
❤️🔥 FIREBALL: (eager, extroverted, curious)
“Would you like to network now?”
😠 STRANGER: (professional, stressed, direct)
I would not like it anyhow.
I would not like it here or there.
I would not like it anywhere.
... Fireball doesn’t let a little objection - or even a lot of rejection - stop her.
❤️🔥 FIREBALL:
“Would you like to talk to me?”
... Stranger is adamant and annoyed, yet polite. Note the word please, repeated.
😩 STRANGER:
I would not like it, let me be.
Not in a plane.
Not on the train.
Networking sucks.
You’re such a pain.
Can’t you see I want you gone.
That’s why I put my headphones on.
Please go far away from me
Please go away, just let me be.
... Fireball tries a new tactic.
❤️🔥 FIREBALL:
Networking isn’t your cup of tea
You do not like it, you said to me.
But it will help you to succeed
Make new friends, achieve your dreams.
Try it try it - it will pay
Try it - and then I’ll go away.
So … would you like to learn to network now?
... Stranger sees the upside.
🤔 STRANGER:
Maybe. Will you show me how?
... FIREBALL teaches STRANGER how to network: using strategy, focus, compassion, and humor.
😃 STRANGER:
I will confess, I used to stress,
But now I hate it much much less.
It’s true.
I like to network now,
I do! I like it, Fireball.
Now I can do it here and there,
I can network anywhere.
Now I rock at events and calls,
Thank you, thank you Fireball.
