First Steps in Building a Great Network of Friends
- Be convinced of the need to have a great set of friends that speak into your life.
- Find a group (1-5) who agree to meet regularly to talk through life and support each other.
- Commit to trust, authenticity, and confidentiality.
- Agree on the frequency of meeting with the group. Be sure to choose a pace that each of you can commit to.
- Share the floor equally in your discussion times to be sure that all get cared for and supported.
- Agree to discuss relevant issues and questions that pertain to you & affect your life’s journey.
- Let your support network leak out beyond your group times to include phone calls, emails, cards and coffees.
