Pre Season Ep 02 with Nick Manarangi.

\\n

Once you pluck up the courage to reach out to a new connection, someone you really wanna chat to and hopefully partner with, do you know how to manage your first face to face with them?  

\\n

The bro Nick Manarangi hit me up on Linked In and wanted to catch up, we'd never met before so my deal to him was, we can catch up and we'll record our first ever korero as a podcast as an example of HOW TO CHAT to someone you want to connect with, in a way that doesn't waste anyone's time.

\\n

This is our chat.

\\n

It includes my 6 step process I follow when meeting with people for the first time, which happens multiple times a week:

\\n
    \\n
  1. Have a reason
  2. \\n
  3. Prepare
  4. \\n
  5. Listen First
  6. \\n
  7. Analyse
  8. \\n
  9. Share
  10. \\n
  11. Actions
  12. \\n
\\n

I also share a bit of my journey with Nick about how I ended up in the Te Haa o Manukau partnership with Auckland Council departments TSI, ATEED, Grid AKL and Panuku Development.... it may or may not get me in trouble!
