The Precious Moment: Unexpected Connections
If I had to outline something that is precious to me from today, it’s that 2 people who I’ve not been in touch with for a while reached out to me. One of them even for a possible opportunity to collaborate.
This unexpected reconnection serves as a reminder that maintaining relationships and staying visible in your network can lead to unexpected opportunities, even during intense work periods.
