contacts per year. Keep your contacts organized and active.

Effective Communication & Networking

For this assignment, create a blank Word Doc and:

1. Make a list of the family members, friends, co-workers and any other contacts
with whom you interact the most or with whom you typically spend the majority
of your time.

2. Put a “+” next to each person who inspires, encourages or builds you up as a
person. Put a “-” beside every person who is toxic – people who complain,
spread rumors, act negatively, have a poor attitude, find the bad in people,
whine and criticize your dreams and aspirations.

3. If you cannot determine which category to place the person in, put a question
mark.

4. Evaluate the list after you think of as many people as possible.

5. Upload this document as your assignment and make a commitment to reduce
spending time with the people who have a “-” next to their name.

By following through on this assignment, you now have a blueprint as to which
people in your life will truly help you attain your goals and objectives, and which
people may be along for the ride.
