Go Meet People GoalChat with Dave Bricker, Jess Dewell & Jeff Pulver #626

  1. Go Meet People GoalChat with Dave Bricker, Jess Dewell & Jeff Pulver #626 Debra Eckerling 1:05:25

On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about how to “Go Meet People” with Dave Bricker, Jess Dewell, and Jeff Pulver. Dave is a storytelling expert and founder of Speakipedia, Jess Dewell is founder of Red Direction and host of the Bold Business Podcast, and Jeff is founder of VON: Evolution and The vCon Foundation, among other endeavors. 

The trio shares their takes on networking aka relationship development – showing up with presence, authenticity, and with a giving mindset. When you go meet new people, these qualities are much more important than collecting business cards and performing a quick, needy sales pitch. 

How to Show Up as Your Best You

– Dave: Be authentic, set boundaries

– Jess: Be seen and see others

– Jeff: The key is to breathe and be present

Goals
– Jeff: Be fearless. Ask for what you need. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no

– Jess: Know as much about yourself in the moment, so you take the next step from who you are today

– Dave: Never go into a relationship lonely or hungry, especially if you are hungry or lonely. Figure out what can you do to make the conversation not about you

Final Thoughts

– Dave: Think carefully about ways to meet the people you want to meet

– Jess: Intuition matters as much as the hard data. Use that voice in your head to guide you

– Jeff: Have the confidence to be who you are
