🐺 Apr 29 - Finding Your Pack

A good friend told me he plays this game at networking events:

As the event warms up, he goes searching for coyotes! We usually have pack members prowling around San Diego events hiding in plain site. Often times, they don’t have furry ears (but some do have tees).

I don’t think he’s letting out a thunderous howl to find them, though that would really tickle my whiskers.

But this game-approach makes sense, just like at parties when there’s something to play, we can relax and settle into the activity. So searching for Social Coyotes is a clever way to ease into networking.

I don’t think he’s invented a hand shake yet (coyote claw?). But paw bump might be coming soon!

Even if this isn’t your type of game and you have a different mission, just knowing that our pack in the room may help us relax a little as the event warms up.

So “game on”! …Here are all the happenings you should know about this week:
