We live in a crazy time. Apathy, confusion of focus, overwhelm, and an abiding sense of hollow abound.

It’s weird. We are being pulled a million different directions. And as Harry Nilsson says in his script The Point “A point in every direction is a point is no direction at all.”

Social networking sites give us points of “contact.” But, often the contacts are unsatisfying or a bit hollow. This is were sharing a win comes in.

Any time you can contact someone that participated in a project (on any level) and tell them about a “win” for the project you are giving a bit of focus and helping point the way to some value in their work.

“Hey, thanks for giving me that lead the other day it looks like I’ll  be sitting down with them for some serious conversation.” This shows you to be a winner. This shows the person you are contacting that you appreciate their help. This shows that person that what they do matters. And, encourages them. Everyone can benefit from a little encouragement.

So share those wins.
