Things have slowed down a bit now that the economy has gone into a temporary permafrost. So I decided that it was time to try to connect more directly with those of you who have written to me in the past or who follow my doings in Paris.
For me, the easiest way is to connect is via a couple of the various social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn and Xing. If you are like me, it just feels a little better if you know a tad more about the people you interact with. On these sites, especially Facebook, I try to share a piece of my life that is not always about business. Yes, sometimes it’s a little silly, and sometimes a little personal, and I always worry about protecting my family’s privacy. But at the same time, I love what I do, and in these difficult times, it helps to be out there sharing experiences, giving encouragement, and helping others through the rough patches. I have been through times like these before, and ultimately, things will get better.
That reminds of of a cute play on a famous saying that I saw yesterday: “The light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off to conserve electricity.” I had to chuckle at that one and then I realized how important it is to maintain a sense of humor when times are challenging.
If any of you would like to connect with me on Facebook (www.facebook.com), please do not hesitate. Drop me a line at steve@navaro.com, or just pop up my page. Maybe we can get to know each other a little better, share stories, laugh a little and find our common ground!
