The Generosity of Strangers

I had an excellent meeting with Colin McKeand the other day. We talked about networking and business development and Colin gave me some really good contacts to follow up. I didn't know Colin, he was a stranger to me, but had been recommended by a mutual colleague as someone I ought to talk to about developing my client base. What struck me about the conversation was how generous strangers can be in the help they give to others and their willingness to pass on their considerable wisdom.

Although Colin was a stranger when we met we parted as new friends. Having spent many years in the public sector it was so refreshing to meet someone who was willing to assist me with no strings attached. Thank you so much Colin.
