Lunchtime is a great opportunity to strengthen old friendships, build new relationships, mentor others, and even be mentored, yourself.I'm the type of person who likes to save time and money wherever I can. I typically eat a brought lunch at my desk in order to save work time and budget cash. You know, there's an old saying that "a brought lunch is better than a bought lunch."
Over the last several months, though, I have been in need of counsel, information, and wisdom in both my personal and work life. So, I have purposely sought out people who have the experience and knowledge I've needed to help me. After identifying the people in my "who network" who could assist me, I set up lunch appointments with these friends by email or phone. I always come away from these luncheons extremely thankful that I made the time to do it.
Lunch meetings are a great way to meet with others in order to learn and grow. With whom do you need to schedule a lunch appointment with this week?
In my circle we have coffee. The best time to meet for me is early in the mornings.
ReplyDeleteHey, Chad - yeah, I've done mornings as well. Either way works for me!
