Create an action plan to continue developing your skills in linking and leveraging. Because this is a skill that by its very nature tends to involve assets beyond yourself, we encourage you to involve others in this plan. What three activities could you undertake in the next week to improve your abilities with this skill? If you found the skill relatively easy, what three activities might you undertake to help others develop their ability in this area? If you have trouble thinking of ideas, consider these ideas: What situations do you have coming up where you know you will be with people that have something they need to accomplish together? Have you had a recent meeting or group conversation that didnt seem to go anywhere? Try to go back in time in your mind, and think about what assets you had at the table. On your own (or, even better, with at least one other person that was there), see if you can come up with a list of opportunities that might not have been considered during the discussion. Who are some people that have assets very different than your own, that might enjoy a conversation about linking and leveraging assets, even if its just as a fun exercise?
