Nudging: invite a potential new friend to coffee

This Nudge was inspired by an article I wrote several months ago on tips for networking. I don’t know about you, but I feel my networking muscles atrophied while we were sheltering-in-place, and I need some nudges to get back out there!

One person I interviewed encouraged me to redefine networking not as a must-do for generating business, but as a way of connecting with good people, of finding points of re-connection, of being intentional about getting and staying in touch. There are benefits professional and personal.

This Nudge is simple. Sending a text or email with “I’d love to catch up with you” (in person or virtually) is all that’s needed. I’m hoping, however, that I get an enthusiastic response and our meet-up happens this week.
