Hey there! Guess what?
Your task today is to make friends!
I know, right?
You have plenty already, blah blah blah, it's too much work.
But here's the thing - do you have friends who do not see you as a professional object? (I know, ouch.)
Talking with this friend shouldn't be a networking meeting - it should be a reunion of souls.
Spend time with people who literally have no connection whatsoever to your work - and that can include your volunteering, too!
We all want to stand out in some way - that's normal. But thinking or feeling like performing your way to stardom is the only way to do that is a trap.
