Who's Your WHO!??
The problem a lot of us have today is that we are confused as to "WHO Are My People?" We don’t see our closest friends as possible conduits and resources when it comes to pursuing our dreams and goals. Instead we go external in our approach, not internal. Big Mistake!

Fort Worth Magazine Feature

Executive Recruiter Bob Beaudine changes the rules of traditional networking and emphasizes that the key to landing your dream job is not reaching out to strangers, but to ask help from your closest friends.
As a result of the economic crisis, the number of unemployed persons increased from 851,000 to 12.5 million in February. Therefore, the introduction of The Power of Who: You Already Know Everyone You Need to Know by Bob Beaudine (Center Street, Hachette Book Group) could not have hit bookstores at a more appropriate time. Published in January, Beaudine delivers an inspirational, common sense approach to landing your dream job. The writing is straightforward and conversational with plenty of anecdotes, case studies and quotes. President and CEO of Eastman & Beaudine and recognized as the top sports/ entertainment search executive in the U.S. conventional wisdom about networking on its head. His innovative approach is two-fold: establish your “Who” and declare what you want out of life.
First things first. Identify the people within your group of friends and friends of friends who are the foundation for making connections. This group is your “Who.” Beaudine changes the rules of traditional networking by advising readers to reach out to their “Who” instead of pursuing complete strangers for job placement. “It’s really not the best use of time and energy to start sending e-mails out to people you don’t know or having lunches with strangers,” he says. “You already know someone right now who knows the person who will help you achieve your goal or hire you or introduce you to the person you need to meet.” On the topic of declaring your “Who,” Beaudine says: “We need to be doing life with our friends."
So start investing some time in your “Who,” reconnect with your “Who,” build your “Who,” nurture your “Who,” because in the end … it’s all about the “Who!” Take, for example, Denny Crane and Alan Shore on the popular TV series “Boston Legal.” Denny, played by William Shatner, and Alan, played by James Spader, have a precious relationship—almost a romance. They are best friends who cannot fathom living life without the other. Their friendship represents the relationship you should have with your “Who.” The second part of the Beaudine plan is to declare what competent and talented individuals are working too hard in unsatisfying careers because they dropped out of the process of discovering what they want to do and whom they want to do it with. And don’t forget to ask for help. You might be a genius in some area of your life, he says, but you’re going to need your “Who” to assist you where you’re not strong. Even Frank Sinatra needed help. The song “My Way,” made popular by Ol’ Blue Eyes, glorifies the philosophy of going it alone. But, in fact, Sinatra didn’t do it his way. Paul Anka wrote that song. There was also an arranger, an orchestra, a recording studio, a sound engineer and a record company. It was a collaborative effort. In the words of Beaudine, “If you’re lost in a jungle trying to do it your way … STOP!”

“Anything Hidden Will Be Exposed”
Having a “Personal Board of Directors” is an absolutely Vital Strategy for Success in life.
By Bob Beaudine CEO and Owner of Eastman-Beaudine and Author of The Power of Who
When I mention the names Plaxico Burress or Michael Vick what comes to your mind? How about when I say: Rod Blagojevich, Eliot Spitzer, or Bernard Madoff. These are smart and talented people—but what were they thinking…? We’ve all seen the mistakes of many high-profile people that result in embarrassment and public humiliation.
I have come to believe one of the very best strategies you can implement to achieve maximum protection is to create your own “Personal Board of Directors.” It has been very revealing to me over my 20 plus years as an executive recruiter that in interview after interview the significant and differentiating factor of one candidate over the other was the-- quality of their “personal board” (or lack of them). These important advisers are the ones who helped design, guide, and encourage the successful candidates to believe in themselves, press the outer limits, shoot for the stars, and discover their dreams. But they also held them accountable to be transparent in business and above reproach in their personal lives.
So, who makes your list, and how many members do you pick to be on your board? There are seven categories I review in depth in my new book The Power of WHO. For a step by step plan of how you can build your “Personal Board of Directors” go to http://www.powerofwho.com/ to find out more about your Board as well as learning about other life-changing resources my book is available now.
Having a “Personal Board of Directors” is an absolutely vital strategy for success in life. It is just a little alarming to know that you and I are just as vulnerable without our “Personal Board of Directors…

It’s Not “What” but “Who” That Will Change Your Life This Year!

Welcome to Your “Who” Blog! I hope this becomes a regular thing for you and me and we become trusted friends! I will give you exclusive insight from my experience as CEO of one of the major executive recruiting firms in the country Eastman and Beaudine. I will offer practical solutions on what every job hunter; college graduate and businessperson needs to know about developing deep connections with the friends in your life who actually want to help you succeed. Take a look at what is in the USA Today on December 17th about the jobless.
Here is a thought to consider for the New Year.
* The “What” in life – what you want and what you have done – will take you only so far. Eventually you will come to a chasm you cannot cross without someone’s help.
* People are “bridges” you must cross to get where you want to go – that is the “Who” I am talking about. Understand that your “What” will never come into play until your “Who” brings you across. So ask yourself, should you spend all your precious time studying, researching and meditating on the “What” without having a plan for the “Who?” No! Go deep with your friendships this year – not wide! Your “Who” are the people that truly know and care about you, far more authentic than the masses of names that people attain passing out business cards to strangers and through online social links. Be transformational – not transactional.
By using the strategy, I outline in my new book The Power of WHO you will discover:
· a revitalization and reconnection with authentic relationships
· a reigniting of your dreams
· and a career and life path based on your passions
I show that with just a few slight course corrections you can alter the trajectory of your life … or even better, someone else’s.
You Got “Who!” ™
