Have you been to a networking meeting?
If so, you know the most popular question of the networking meeting is, “What do you do for a living?”
Telling people I’m an intuitive animal communicator
My friend, Tom Pfeifer and I were at a local Chamber of Commerce networking meeting. As you can imagine, not many animal communicators attend networking meetings. But there I was.
Tom had a great time watching someone’s reaction when I attempted to explain I was an intuitive animal communicator. I’ve had a lot of experience explaining what I do, but I was not getting through this time.
“One of these things is not like the other!”
At that moment, I felt like I was part of the Sesame Street game, “One of these things is not like the other.” And I was the person who was not like the others. Here is how Tom described my dilemma:
“Imagine you have an unusual gift you have turned into a career.
But when you tell people at networking mixers, their initial reaction is a quizzical smirk.”
“No guts, no glory!”
I don’t actually say that, but it seems appropriate for my networking forays. Once people hear my occupation, there is a “pregnant pause” as they digest what I said. And it lasts a few more seconds as they figure out how to respond.
Nowadays, I notice a mindset shift about animal communication
More of us are open to the possibility that what I do is real and useful. That’s because we feel a deep connection to our beloved animal companions.
Many of us have felt that they understood our communication. Or we understood their communication – not through noticing behaviors, but through “just knowing.”
So sharing what I do in networking groups has become easier. Yay!
