Last Tuesday I launched Integrated Alliances here in the Phoenix Market with a VIP, invite only event at Ruth's Chris Steak house.

With two colleagues, Bill Austin and Bob Denton, we generated 113 RSVPs and 86 VIPs in attendance - in 2 weeks.

I'm completely floored - even with all the training I have. And something even more interesting is happening - I am now perceived differently in the communities I already participate in.

Why am I sharing this with you? Well, it illustrates a few things.

1. The power of a network and a clear focus. With very little time and a clear outcome a great event was created. With it's focus around the LinkedIn Platform (a network), a few key individuals (a network), and a clear vision, mountains got moved.
2. Be a leader in your network and cause connections - real world connections - it alters how your network perceives you. I cannot even begin to describe the shift that has happened within the conversations I've had in the last week. It's surreal.

If you are in the Phoenix Metropolitan area, a high-level player, a reader of my blog, and a user of LinkedIn, I'd like to invite you to join our mailing list for the IA - Linkedin Live! Events. Go to www.integratedalliances.com/phoenix_events.php and join the list. We'd love to have you join us!

Here's to the power of networks, of people coming together around a common cause, and of the magic that gets created when they collide.
