READING: Read the text and answer the questions below. Be ready to share
your answers with your teacher.
How helping form your professional field
How can I help you? You’ve probably heard this
question a million times. How often is it genuine?
How often does it come without a self-serving
agenda? Rarely. It usually comes from someone
who wants something from you. They want to take
your order.
If you polled experts on the most important skills for career advancement,
there’s no doubt the ideas you collected would include drive, vision,
communications, networking as well as many of the topics covered in my latest
book, The Road to Recognition. Generosity may not make the list. But it
definitely should.
Generosity with your skills and time will catapult your success. Why?
● Helping others makes you a leader—True leaders are willing to teach, help
others advance, showcase their skills, and learn from others.
● You activate your network—Helping others leads to opportunities. You send
a message about what it means to be connected to you and your network is
more likely to reciprocate.
● You grow—All your interactions have the potential to deliver personal and
professional growth. Being helpful proves you are a team player.
You probably know someone who has a professional network that seems to be
consistently opening doors for them that appear close to you? It would be easy
to pass off this success as luck – happening to know the right people at the
right time. However, my experience has taught me that people create their
own reciprocal luck by simply helping those in their network.
