On this week’s GoalChat, we talked about Relationship Development with Tiffanie Kellog, Speaker in Socks; Larry Levine, Selling from the Heart; and Keith Smith, The Fuel Podcast. I met each one of these guests through the power of my own network. Tiffanie came through Innovation Women, Larry (introduced by Brynne Tillman) shares a secret in 52 Secrets for Goal-Setting and Goal-Getting, and Keith’s podcast is also part of the Marketing Podcast Network. Keith and I co-host MPN’s Meta Marketing Show.
The panel shared their takes on networking, relationship development, and authenticity, along with their super-powers/superhero names and more.
Relationship Development
- Keith: It’s how you relate to other people
- Larry: You have to bring curiosity to the forefront; relate, connect
- Keith: Imperfection is part of being relatable
- Tiffanie: It’s not just about business, we make friends differently as we grow up; all relationships need to follow the rules of friendship
Favorite Ways to Meet New People
- Tiffanie: Intros from others
- Larry: Getting out there. How do you expect people to know who you are if you are not showing up authentically. Pay attention to the people who pay attention to you – reach out
- Keith: Find things that are interesting about others and develop rapport through what you discover
- Larry: Create habits for making new connections; you have to have a plan

Final Thoughts
- Tiffanie: When you find the right people, you see the alignment; relationships should be win win win
- Keith: Do what you say you’ll do
- Larry: Control the controllables
