We network for a myriad of reasons. One critical category of networking is building internal and external relationships that allow you to do your job better – and have a much better experience doing that job.

My guest this week is Brad Englert, founder of Brad Englert Advisory and an author, advisor, and technologist. Brad has worked for Accenture, The University of Texas, and the IRS.

Brad and I talk about the benefits of building these relationships for both parties involved, who to build these relationships with, and how to make sure you carve time out of your busy schedule to cultivate these relationships.

We also talk about one of my favorite topics – the Emotional Bank Account – so people don’t see you as someone who only shows up when you need something or have bad news.
