Personal and professional networks are like bank accounts--they require deposits. Today is a great day to balance your network account:

1) recommend an article ("when I read this, I thought of you")

2) share a photo of the turtle in your yard ("I remember your kids love turtles")

3) text a selfie of you gesturing a toast ("congrats on your promotion")

4) forward a podcast link ("discovered this on my run today and think you'd enjoy it)

5) send a handwritten card ("get well soon")

6) make a small donation to the charity of someone's choice ("I admire your dedication to this cause")

7) connect with someone on something you have in common ("I think you'll like this new word I learned today")

8) what are your ideas for keeping networks alive?????

Networks are relationships, and relationships need attention.
