Understanding our differences can help us to communicate more effectively.

How would you define networking?

For me, it’s simply interacting with other people.

You're networking when at an event, talking to colleagues and even posting on social media.

For tips on how to make the most of these interactions, check out my book https://t.co/VwdSa9hSP9

At times like these it’s even more important to communicate with each other, especially with those we might not see as often as we used to.

Do you have a New Year’s resolution for 2022?

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got one about eating more healthily. The trouble is my cupboards are full of goodies at the moment, so I’m put off starting until February to give me a better chance!

Have a great New Year!

[Mike Grocott @IntercogUK_Mike]

I don’t know about you, but I’m really looking forward to 2022 and seeing what the new year brings!

I don’t think there’ll be any more books though as I’m happy with the three I published this year https://t.co/xI73BwAfaQ.

Have a great day! 🎅

Have you noticed that there are fewer advent calendars about this year?
