The first element of Acceptance is Accountability.  We are the product of our decisions and values.  We decide to put one value in front of another.  Yes, there are circumstances presented to us all, but we still apply our values and beliefs when it comes to what to do.

This is critical because if you don’t accept this accountability – if it is always someone else’s fault or decision – how can you change it if you don’t own it?  This can be sobering and also be tremendously liberating. You can make a difference. You just need to make that decision.

This is all a part of the Authentic Networking System.  Learn more about Authentic Networking at the Professional Networking Workshop on Nov 6th. If you are attending a networking event in the next week, these workshops provide networking practice, information, and resources.  Learn and reinforce concepts, ideas, and processes that make networking more comfortable and effective.   Workshop Info
