Our Summit Principles
We believe shared principles are the foundation for building an authentic community.
1. Follow up and follow through.
If you told someone you’d get in touch with them, do it and reaffirm your intent to assist in any way you can. If you promised to introduce someone to a person you know, take the time to do it.
2. Connect the dots.
Once you begin to listen to people and learn what they can bring to the table, you’ll start realizing how one person in the room may be able to help another.
3. Be present.
Disconnect to connect.
4. Show love.
Don’t snub the service providers and don’t fanboy the big names.
5. Never dismiss anyone as unimportant.
Make it your mission to discover the value in each person you talk to. Ask questions and listen with interest. Don’t make the mistake of discounting people due to their titles.
6. Forget your personal agenda.
While you may be tempted to network just to land a quick transaction or talk to people you normally wouldn’t have access to, that’s a mistake. Instead, make it your goal to be open, friendly and honest, and to forge connections between people who may be able to help each other.
7. Believe in the power of networking.
Make it your mission to discover the value in each person you talk to. Ask questions and listen with interest. Don’t make the mistake of discounting people due to their titles.
