Dear Chanaporn Khongoun
Hi there. It’s Tom Sorensen, headhunter and partner at Grant Thornton. I have just posted my latest blog story. It's for you.
Are you breathing your own exhaust?
Can I ask you: Are you one of the many executives who do not spend enough time on networking in your local business community? Breathing your own exhaust is dangerous.
No, this has nothing to do with your car and exhaust pipe. It’s everything to do with an isolated mind that starts believing you can walk on water; meaning a self-perception that you can break through personal limitations and achieve dramatic success all by yourself. It leads to arrogance, a closed mind, a restriction on your perception, and a kind of know-it-all person.
Breathing our own exhaust happens to the best of us. Sorry to say, I’m one of the first in line when it comes to falling in love with my own stuff. Get three ideas that can help to make sure you don’t breathe your own exhaust.
Anyone can do this. Stop disqualifying yourself. It’s too late to start networking when you’ve lost your job! Period
