Expand your network at ease : Six Degrees of Separation!

PC: Psych2Go

Did you know that you are just six connections away from any person on this planet?

Imagine this , you wanted to connect to some influential figures or role models like -  'Elon Musk,' 'Giorgia Meloni,' 'Kamala Harris,' or even 'Donald Trump' , they are just 6 handshakes away?  Yes - how wonderful right ?

Any two persons in the world can be connected by around six people.This concept is known as "six degrees of separation". Studies suggest that through a chain of "friend of a friend" connections, you can reach anyone in just six hops, also known as the 'six handshakes rule!'

This idea highlights the incredible potential of networking.

Your network is one of your greatest assets. It can unlock new possibilities and propel your career forward.

For engineers and professionals, this means that the person who can offer you your next big opportunity, provide valuable advice, or collaborate on an innovative project is closer than you think. Don’t hesitate to expand your network for all the right reasons.

Reach Out: Don’t be afraid to connect with people who inspire you or who you think can offer guidance. A simple message can start a meaningful conversation.

Build Relationships: Engage with your peers and seniors, attend industry events, and participate in online communities.

Be Open: Embrace new connections and opportunities that come your way. Each handshake, virtual or real, can open new doors.

 Chinese Whisper & Rope Slams:

>>How do we combat the Chinese Whisper effect in our organizations?

>>How do we ensure “rope slams” reach the tail end?

In this world of excessive data , visuals and narratives , you are just a click away to learn more about the above, so I would rather cut some fat and keep it short :) 

The “Chinese Whisper Game” teaches us how crucial it is to communicate in a direct and unambiguous manner in order to avoid misinterpretation and guarantee that messages are received and processed with integrity.

 On the other hand “Rope slams” ( Imagine a  Gym workout )  highlights the necessity of constant effort to maintain momentum and guarantee that instructions are properly carried out at every level.

In my recent book “Focused Minds” , I made a statement - “Engineers are orbiting around the task instead of landing on them”.  They might not be the ‘Cause’ but an ‘Effect’ , and it could have a trenscending effect and could apply to any professional. 

Is this because the top to bottom message stream is getting diluted when it comes to “mission & vision” statements of an organization and also the “rope slams” are losing their intensity ?

In any F.U.D situation my advice to any F.U.D affected individual would be -

1. Watch out your empty mind.
2. Watch out what you are consuming ( News / Gossip / rumors and also food )
3. Rise above from your peripheral activities and keep your eyes on the ball.
4. Ensure you are operating at your next level, trust me - its would bring out your v2.0
5. Take regular D.O.S.E !!

**Glossary: 

F.U.D = Fear , Uncertainity & Doubt

D.O.S.E = Dopamine , Oxytocin , Serotonin , Endorphin.
