If you’ve been listening to the show for a while you’ve heard me mention at some point that 2016 for me is a year of connection and expanding my social network. Sure it has it’s implications in building a profitable business, BUT my true motive in increasing my social capital is for all those feel good hormones and benefits associated with personal connection.
To build on the topic of increasing your network, my guest today, Jason Treu is the author of Social Wealth – the how-to-guide on building personal and professional relationships.
Jason Treu is a top business and executive coach and sales leadership trainer. He’s a leading expert on leadership, culture, influence, and relationship building.
He helps his clients get unstuck and find their purpose, put the passion back in their lives, create additional wealth, and build key skill sets to take their business and career to the highest levels.
He’s worked with well-known CEOs such as Steve Jobs, Mark Hurd at Hewlett Packard, and many others. He’s helped his clients meet influencers such as Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Richard Branson and many others.
