So what is my rule of 26? It's simple...
Connect with 1 person every other week that you wouldn't usually speak to.
The benefits are endless... there is no downside!
Too many times I speak to executives who have just lost their role, left their company, or have been paid to leave... and their most common comment is: I haven't been networking, I was so focused on working.
This is when I get on my soapbox about the rule of 26...
220 miles. 24,000+ feet of elevation. One unforgettable weekend.
Some people called us crazy. Others just asked, “Why?”
We joked that it was our version of a vacation—but really, it was about choosing to challenge ourselves, to disconnect, and to do something hard on purpose.
@AskTarget So that’s a yes. I’ll teleport back to 1995 and deal with your fraud team while I’m short of $1000 for trying to adopt one of your offerings and your team not having the right security measures in place around activation.
@Target still faxes?? signed up for the red debit card- mailed it and someone stole it. No activation sec and now I’m $1000 out of pocket. Customer care disconnected with me and then the fraud department said they’d mail or fax me a questionnaire to start my claim? Where’s my $?
@AskTarget Will it result in them telling me they are faxing or mailing me something about fraud before I can get my money back? If so- this is spectacularly bad.
@AskTarget So I’ve been taken for $1k. I’ve had awful customer service. I’ve been told I’ll get a fax (in 2023) and my recommended action is to take more time away from work to try and call again?
