NETWORK WEAVERSJune Holley’s Definition: A Network Weaver is someone who is aware of the networks around them and explicitly works to make them healthier (more inclusive, bridging divides). Network Weavers do this by connecting people strategically where there’s potential for mutual benefit, helping people identify their passions, and serving as a catalyst for self-organizing groups.

Chris Brogan• Spend 20 minutes a day observing
your network. • Spend 10 minutes a day cultivating
new relationships. • Use an organized contact
management system to manage relationships, not just keep contact info.
• Deliver two to three times as much value as you ask from your network. This keeps people eager to be helpful when the time comes that you need them.
