The global pandemic issues have not spared any industry. For family business owners, the challenges have included not just surviving the immediate impact of numerous lockdowns, but also potentially assuring the continuation of their company's business model. Derek and Melanie Coburn join us to share how they managed to pivot their family and business during the pandemic to remain successful. Key takeaways to listen for Territorial Impacts of a global pandemic to families and parenting  Valuing diversity and awareness How to pivot the business to survive the new normal Successfully building a community online Benefits of having two businesses Tips for maintaining a healthy work-life balance  Creative ways to keep family sane Resources mentioned in this episode Networking Is Not Working by Derek Coburn About Derek Coburn  Derek Coburn began his career as a financial advisor in 1998 and built a successful wealth management practice – which still runs today – mainly through cold-calling in the early years, and then networking. When the economy took a turn for the worse in 2008, he had to devote his time to his existing client and left him less time for networking and learning. He joined high-level networking groups and professional organizations, where he met some great people. He co-founded CADRE, along with his wife Melanie, in 2011 as a way for elite professionals to learn from the top experts in the world while connecting and developing meaningful relationships with like-minded peers. About Melanie Coburn After 14 years at the Washington Football team, Melanie grew a very diverse network of clients, partners, and friends and focused on building these relationships over time. She firmly believes that by deepening your existing relationships, you ultimately expand your network by cultivating word-of-mouth marketers among these connections. She built the business side of the (formerly known as the Redskins) Cheerleaders from the ground up, as the first person in the NFL to hold this position. With the Cheerleaders, she used to say she was in the business of smiles. Now, through CADRE, she hopes to become a cheerleader for world-class professionals and bring smiles to your faces each time she creates an opportunity.  Connect with Derek and Melanie Coburn  Website: www.cadredc.com   Connect with Us To learn more about us, visit our website at www.18summers.com or email us at info@18summers.com.

A few years ago, I was famous in some circles, but a stranger at home with my family. I remember my wife made a comment that stung, “Since Tiger (my then 4-year-old son) doesn’t get to see you much, he just hasn’t had the time to build a relationship with you yet.” Ouch. Painful, yet true – as a reality check often is. For years I’d been traveling the world, impacting lives as a keynote speaker, but I was a no show for my #1 audience at home. In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to first be famous at home, amongst many other things, including… Finding patience Coaching kids Detoxing Afternoon sex And as usual, lots more   Join The Brotherhood Join the Front Row Dads private Facebook community so you can ask questions, share ideas, and be part of a supportive group of incredible brothers who help one another navigate the role of marriage and fatherhood.

When you can add relational value to the people in your circle you discover doors open for you like never before. Derek Coburn is one of the people I’ve noticed adding true relational value to the lives of his clients and others he meets. He’s become so convinced that is the best way to build a personal and business network that he’s begun his own organization to host events that bring people together and add value to their lives. You can hear Derek’s philosophy of how networking was not working, what he did to change the model, and the incredible results he’s had as a result - it’s all on this episode of Real Relationships. Why you need to be of greater value to your clients than the service you do. Many business owners provide a service or product to their clients, which means the reality they need to accept is that they are very much a commodity to their clients or customers. That means the moment a similar product or service comes along that offers a lower price or new bell or whistle, you could become expendable. How do you change that? By adding relational value to your clients and customers - by building relationships with them that matter. On this episode, Derek Coburn tells us how he’s done that and how impacting and powerful it’s become in his life and in the lives of the many people he’s been able to connect with others over the years. The core of great relationships is the feeling people have toward you. Long-term, successful businesses are built on relationships. And you build the relationships by adding value to them, by providing things, experiences, resources, introductions to your clients that go far beyond what you actually do for them. That way you become a valuable resource, a go-to person who connects them with things that are truly helpful to them. They value you because they value what you add to their lives - and that's a feeling they have about YOU. You can learn how to think about this relational value approach to networking from Derek Coburn, a master networker, author, and financial advisor, on this episode. In a commodity type business, you need to provide more than just your commodity. Once you recognize that business with your regular clients could be at risk simply because they might see you as nothing more than a commodity, it’s time for you to begin making a bigger impact in their lives - and that comes through adding relational value to them. You need to figure out the ways you can add incredible value to them, beyond what a normal “company” or service provider might do. It’s the best way to stand apart from your competition and ensure that your clients never WANT to leave you. Find out how from Derek Coburn, on this episode. If you want to build a relationship with someone influential, you’d better be thoughtful about it. One of the best things you can do for your existing clients and customers is to introduce them to people you know that they need to know. But that requires that you are continually building relationships with influencers and high profile people who can truly BE an asset to your clients. On this episode of Real Relationships, Derek Coburn gives his advice about how to go about reaching out to the busy people you want to meet - and how to do it the smart way. You don’t want to miss it. Outline of this great episode [0:34] My introduction of Derek Coburn and why he’s on this episode of Real Relationships.

Most of us have only experienced the negative type of networking. Standing around at a party handing out business cards to people you don’t know, hoping to find a needle client in the haystack. On this episode, Dave highlights some of the un-networking strategies Derek Coburn shared in episodes 311-314 from his book, “Networking Is Not Working: Stop Collecting Business Cards and Start Making Meaningful Connections.”

Derek Coburn shows us how to merge client appreciation with networking and, if done the right way, how it can be very beneficial to you and your business. By making existing clients happy, you increase the likelihood of them staying your clients. And through them you gain opportunities to meet more people than you would have met otherwise.

Author Derek Coburn talks about how to build a valuable network without attending networking events. Derek’s method is to host an event comprised of a community of people who have a pay it forward mindset and genuinely want to add value for one another. After you have added tons of value for these individuals, after you have made really valuable connections, and after you have been the one who brought people together in a meaningful way, they are going to WANT to help you any way they can.

Author Derek Coburn helps us upgrade our networking efforts to what he calls “Networking 3.0.” Instead of handing out business cards and looking to benefit yourself, Derek teaches a change of mindset constantly places the focus on your existing clients, and people in your network. In Networking 3.0 you are always mindful of and spotting those win-win connections that would benefit them, not you when you are meeting new people at events.

Author Derek Coburn talks about how we often look at networking as a means to get new customers. But he says our biggest opportunity is to grow our network to better serve our existing clients. The key is to be mindful in helping your clients expand their horizons to help them grow their business.

He is a master networker and author of Networking Is Not Working: Stop Collecting Business Cards and Start Making Meaningful Connections.

We’re counting down the top 10 episodes of 2015 on the 1 Simple Thing podcast. Today is number 7 on the list. Episode 311: How to Stand apart from your competition. We hope you enjoy it and Merry Christmas!   Author Derek Coburn talks about how we often look at networking as a means to get new customers. But he says our biggest opportunity is to grow our network to better serve our existing clients. The key is to be mindful in helping your clients expand their horizons to help them grow their business.

In this episode I interview Derek Coburn Author of Networking Is Not Working. Learn how to network to improve the opportunities for your business.

Most of us have only experienced the negative type of networking. Standing around at a party handing out business cards to people you don’t know, hoping to find a needle client in the haystack. On this episode, Dave highlights some of the un-networking strategies Derek Coburn shared in episodes 311-314 from his book, “Networking Is Not Working: Stop Collecting Business Cards and Start Making Meaningful Connections.”

Derek Coburn shows us how to merge client appreciation with networking and, if done the right way, how it can be very beneficial to you and your business. By making existing clients happy, you increase the likelihood of them staying your clients. And through them you gain opportunities to meet more people than you would have met otherwise.

Author Derek Coburn talks about how to build a valuable network without attending networking events. Derek’s method is to host an event comprised of a community of people who have a pay it forward mindset and genuinely want to add value for one another. After you have added tons of value for these individuals, after you have made really valuable connections, and after you have been the one who brought people together in a meaningful way, they are going to WANT to help you any way they can.

Author Derek Coburn helps us upgrade our networking efforts to what he calls “Networking 3.0.” Instead of handing out business cards and looking to benefit yourself, Derek teaches a change of mindset constantly places the focus on your existing clients, and people in your network. In Networking 3.0 you are always mindful of and spotting those win-win connections that would benefit them, not you when you are meeting new people at events.

Derek is a partner of a wealth management firm who started an un networking community in Washington DC called cadre, which currently supports over 100 remarkable CEOs and business leaders. He is also the author of Networking Is Not Working.

Derek Coburn is a man who knows a thing or two about the importance of relationships. He’s a financial advisor for high net-worth individuals, he’s an entrepreneur, and he’s an author of the great book Networking Is Not Working. He finds that explaining all of these roles can be confusing. “Often times we get caught […] The post 058: Derek Coburn Author of Networking Is Not Working | Why Networking is Broken — and What to Do About It appeared first on Smart Business Revolution.

Derek began his career as a financial advisor in 1998 and built a successful wealth management practice, which he still runs today. When the economy took a turn for the worse, he had to devote even more time to his existing clients. He began using non-traditional networking strategies, which included creating an informal networking group consisting of his best clients and their top advisors.   Read the entire show notes, key takeaways and find business-boosting resources at www.aesnation.com/15

"The definition I use for networking is anything that increases the value of your network and/or the value you contribute to it. " - Derek Coburn The Cheat Sheet: Who you'll really meet at big networking events. Why successful networking is a lot like successful dating. What to ask yourself before you make an email introduction. Permission marketing: what is it, why you should use it and how. How to put together your own 20-25 person networking group. And so much more! Is networking a thing of the past? Or is there a new 3.0 version we can put into practice to make a difference in the lives of everyone in our circles? Derek Coburn is a master networker and author of Networking Is Not Working. He believes there is a better, natural way to fulfill the art of networking. He joins us for episode 296 to talk about what works, what doesn't work and how successful people network differently than the typical "big event" style. More About This Show: The concept behind networking has evolved and through over the decades, but most people are stuck in the "what can you do for me?" networking era. Some of those people have read books on the next level up of networking or the "how can I help you now so you help me later?" genre. But neither of those apply to what Derek says networking is. To him, networking is about connecting with others in your circles so everyone is enriched in the process. And this is most definitely something that happens outside of those big box-type networking events. Derek says you don't need those events and they probably won't do much to help you expand your relationships, your business/career path or any other area of your life. For the most part, they are useless. Why is that? Because, according to him, no one is who any good at networking is actually going to those events. The best and the most successful networkers won't be there. Derek goes on to explain the various versions of networking (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0) and why 3.0 is where it's at it today. According to Derek, in version 3.0 you can truly make yourself stand out among anyone else by adding value to all of your relationships through networking. That's the power of 3.0. A great example he gives is his 3 for 1's as he calls them. In the past, if he had a set of 4 tickets to a sporting event or a tournament he was sponsoring, Derek would invite 3 of his clients and the four of them would hang out together. Sounds great right? Sure, it was a good time for all of them. But Derek realized his clients would have an even better time if they were there with their friends, not a couple of guys they didn't know very well. So from then on, he began giving away 3 tickets for every 1. He gave his client a ticket to an event and then told him to invite 3 of his buddies and have a good time. Naturally, his clients loved him all the more for it. When Derek and his wife started the CADRE group, they wanted to help members gain referrals. Instead of just asking for referrals, they created an email template they could send out to anyone they wanted to invite to an introductory session. Even if you don't have your own business, you can take the principles of both of these examples and apply them to your life. Derek is always thinking about how to benefit others in his life and how he can make their life more enjoyable and more fulfilling. By adding value to their lives, they remember him and return his generosity. Think about: who do you know amongst your circles who would benefit from knowing each other? Derek also shares with us the proper way to make those introductions and pave the way for a clear connection between your two people. There's a definite way to make fruitful introductions and a way NOT to! Derek walks us through his thought process before doing so and we talk about introductions we've made on each other's behalf and what we'd do differently next time. There's plenty more to discover from Derek in this episode. He truly is a masterful networker and connector who has taught me a TON and I know he'll do the same for you.

You know all of those conferences, trade shows, and industry events where you're supposed to network and meet potential new clients? You should probably skip those and instead create your own "un-networking" group where you connect clients and become an extension of your clients' business development team. Not only will you help your clients, but you will get more business in return, says Derek Coburn, author of Networking Is Not Working.

Welcome to episode #408 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I have an aversion to those in wealth management. That being said, I have many friends in the space and I'm thankful for the professional help I have received to date from some very smart people. Here's where that aversion comes from: in my early years of networking, I would find myself at Chamber of Commerce-like cocktail events, and I felt like the people who were the most annoying in these scenarios were the wealth management people. They would "work the room" and fling out business cards like ninja stars at any body in their way. Derek Coburn is a wealth management guy, but not "one of those guys." We met a while back when he invited me to present the concepts in CTRL ALT Delete to his networking group, Cadre. Most recently, he decided to tackle the issue of networking and better connecting with individuals through a business book called, Networking Is Not Working. I often relapse and struggle in networking situations, so Coburn's advice and insights are important. Enjoy the conversation...

Do you attend networking events only to come home with a handful of business cards but no real leads? If so, you'll find help in the new book Networking is NOT Working by Derek Coburn.   This week, Derek shares with us how he got out of the networking event rut and instead created an insanely powerful networking group that creates leads, business and loyalty…and how you can, too!   http://www.themarketingagents.com/42

Interview with Derek Coburn (CadreDC.com) There’s a problem with the business networking events that you’re attending—traditional networking doesn’t work. It’s like trying to use Morse code because you’re unaware that iPhones exist. But here on the show today is Derek Coburn, author of the new book, Networking is Not Working (launching on April 28th) to school us on non-traditional networking methods that are actually effective in growing your client base and building your business. In 1998, Derek graduated college and began his career as a financial adviser and built an extremely successful wealth management business. When the economy took a downturn a few years ago, he had to devote more of his time to his existing clients. He started using non-traditional networking strategies to help his clients and help his business, and when his revenue tripled from his efforts, he knew he was onto something. Afterwards, he and his wife founded Cadre—and un-networking community in Washington DC (and now in Baltimore) that connects over 100 CEOs and business leaders. Now, Derek’s channeled the wildly effective networking strategies that he’s learned from growing two successful companies into his latest book and he’s sharing his “non-networking” secrets in this episode. So before you waste your time handing out another business card, check out what Derek has to say.
