I’ve found great pleasure and abundance from sharing my connections with others just starting out in business, seeking career change, or looking to expand their social and business network.<\/p>\n
I encourage you to give your friends and trusted associates a “LinkedIn High Five” – give people the ability to ask you for introductions to 5 of your contacts and for reasons they’d like to be introduced.<\/p>\n
This will do a few things:<\/p>\n
1. It will demonstrate to others the strengths of your connections and network.<\/p>\n
2. It will establish credibility with others who see value in who you know.<\/p>\n
3. It will create opportunities for you to re-engage with your connections that may have gone dormant.<\/p>\n
