The value of exploring new networks

This weekend I will be attending JCI Denmarks annual spring conference. In fact I’ll be leaving home in a few minutes from writing this.

Why do I choose to spend valuable times being at conferences without any direct relation to my business? Because I am a very strong believer in exploring new networks and in networking in itself. Because in networking, opportunity has a habit of presenting itself.

Furthermore there’s a value towards approaching networks with seemingly little relevance to your everyday life: You get challenged on your thoughts and ideas. You may struggle with projects, concepts or ideas and miss a piece here and there. And then something somebody says at a seemingly unimportant conference puts everything in perspective. Its a human art, if you ask me. And priceless.
