187: How to Be a World-Class Connector of People and Ideas with Michael D Simmons on the TalentGrow Show with Halelly Azulay [ep18 rebroadcast]

Connecting online can be both more or less authentic, depending on your approach. But in the 21st Century, and especially now in the times of COVID-19, we have many new opportunities to connect with more and different people in a different way than ever before because of how we can create content online. We can leverage these opportunities to share more of ourselves, to be more thoughtful about how we share about ourselves, and build amazing connections and networks. In this re-broadcast episode, I chat with Michael D. Simmons, an award-winning serial entrepreneur, best-selling author and internationally-acclaimed speaker who is a world-class connector of people and ideas who loves to research, synthesize, and share ideas about building relationships in the 21st century. We also talk about how contexts collide online, creating new challenges for managing our personal brands and calling on us to become more holistic and authentic so that we're not trying to put up a front or share the wrong things in the wrong contexts. Michael also shares the fascinating concept of the "expert generalist" or "broker" as a massively effective way for professionals to accelerate their career success (by 65%!) and increase their own learning and the value they offer to their employers, employees, and clients. With so many people focusing on being seen as a specialist or expert, this counter-intuitive approach can be a powerful one to consider tapping into. Listen and don't forget to share with others.
