Call it luck or karma.

It does seem to come back to that connector type.

It really fosters a sense of trust and this mutual kind of we're all in it together feeling.

where people do want to help you in turn.

So I talked to people who ended up getting jobs, all kinds of opportunities, sitting on special committees, ended up coming their way because they were the kind of people who took the time to always be trying to help people in their networks.

And I'm sure it also just feels good to like make that connection.

Totally.

People told me it's like a high, someone compared it to taking a vitamin.

Like it just makes you feel like a good person.

I think there's this genuine rush when two people just totally hit it off and you know that you're behind it.

What sort of advantages does a connector at work have?

So if you're a connector at work, one of the things is that you are by nature have your hand in different networks.

So most of us live in echo chambers, you're just in one world.

Maybe you get really deep in your department, people who work in your geographic area, people who focus on the exact same niche projects as you do.

So if you're a connector, you're reaching out to people across an organization, you are more in the flow.

You get all kinds of information.

You hear about opportunities, little bits of gossip that can help you know what's going on and also come up with kind of bigger, innovative ideas.

And people will turn to you because they know that you know all of these things that are happening and you're really good at solving problems.

Anyone can learn to do this.

One of the big tips is developing that diversity of networks.
