Social Capital Mentor

If you’re like a lot of people, one the hardest things about improving your social capital is putting yourself out there. We can talk all we want about social capital, but as the old saying goes, talk is cheap. You need habits of interacting well with people. Michael Phelps swims more laps then there are stars in the sky, because practice makes habit.

So you need practice. Think conscientiously about some of the simple interactions that you have day in and day out. Treat going out and interacting with people as a learning experience. Watch the reactions that you get. Schedule time, even just a few minutes a day, to practice face-to-face social interaction. You can do it at a coffee house, the kitchenette at work, wherever.

Let us know how it goes.
