Berlin. London. Chicago. Los Angeles.
I connected with four amazing people from around the world yesterday...
... and I never left my home office.
No travel was required.
No airports or taxis or hotels.
No time away from my family.
Just four incredible conversations with really interesting people I discovered (or who discovered me) on LinkedIn and who decided to accept my virtual coffee invitation.
I know many of us despise video calls.
I'm often in that camp myself.
But on days like yesterday, I'm reminded of how lucky we are to live in a world where technology makes it so easy to discover and connect with people.
Next week, challenge yourself to schedule a virtual coffee meeting with one new person.
You get extra credit if that person lives in a different country from you. I think you may surprise yourself with how easy that is to do.
