Opportunity Makers:

Have Greater Impact, Meaning & Joy With Others

opportunity makers kare anderson book coverIt’s no longer just what you know or who you know. Instead, it’s who else wants to know you. In this new era where convergence and connectivity are vital, achieving success depends less on persuading or leading others and more on forging mutually beneficial ties that enable you to become the glue that attracts and keeps the right groups together. As the world flattens, power and responsibility are rapidly flowing from organizations to mutuality-minded individuals. As more people have the freedom to connect with anyone, no skill is more vital than the capacity to inspire others to want to work well together, and with you.

In this book you’ll receive a 52-week Action Plan that you can use to become an Opportunity Maker. Steps include:

  • If you are arguing for more than ten minutes, then you may not be discussing the deeper, underlying conflict. Explore what that might be.
  • Offer verbal snapshots that penetrate the mind and the gut in an instant then linger, leaving a bright afterimage.
  • Reach out to talk with the person who is most ignored at a meeting, social mixer, or other gathering—especially when you are the center of attention—and you may cultivate an appreciative ally for life.
  • Since smell is the most directly emotional sense, bypassing much of the brain’s thinking process, consider how to introduce positive, natural, and uplifting scents via your body and environments where others gather with you.

Highlights include:

  • Brevity is Usually Better
  • Label Whatever Matters to You
  • Use the Right Kind of Humor
  • Pull Others Into Your Stories and Build In Bragging Rights
  • Gain Greater Self-Clarity
  • Scale Your Capacity to Sway Others

… and in this edition, you will find this special bonus sections:

  • Twenty-three ways to attract serious buyers to your exhibit and to a sale at a convention
  • Tips on how meetings planners can make their conferences more meaningful and memorable
  • Thirty-eight negotiation tips to tip the scale toward better agreements
  • … and much, much more!

Customer Reviews:

I’ve been following Kare Anderson’s work for several years now. Her work is always to the point and leads the reader to look more deeply into how we engage with others. In this book, she emphasizes her message with stories that inspire us to think, to listen, to understand others and ourselves. There are exercises in the book about how we see ourselves, and aid in understanding how we are perceived by others. Of course, she doesn’t stop there, Kare shares how we can learn to nurture a collective group of friends by sharing their stories, shining a light on their traits and gaining greater clarity of our own traits and how to collaborate to support each other, something that she has often spoken about. We create opportunity through our relationships, our mutuality mindsets (see her other books to learn more about this).” — Janet Fouts

“If you have an opportunity to read or listen to the gifted writer and speaker Kare Anderson, don’t miss it!! She memorably and invariably conveys insights that are actionable, wrapped in expressions that will remain a part of your inner soundtrack. Every relationship can be understood and evaluated on the basis of how each person is serving the other. This is why, in Kare’s words, mutuality matters. The result is something distinct, with its own rhythms, boundaries and possibilities. ‘Opportunity Makers’ become notably effective by serving others, thereby bringing out the best from everyone involved. Lest that sound “soft” or amorphous, Kare’s personal experience at the top of her fields in journalism and business education keeps it down to earth, tested by experience and widely applicable. In sum, don’t miss ‘Opportunity Makers.’ If you’re like others among us, you’ll soon enough be putting her ideas and observations to use, and will want to turn to her other books and blog posts and social media and speeches.”— James Strock

“In Opportunity Makers, Kare Anderson offers wise, inspiring, and actionable guidance on achieving success together. In a world where it’s easier than ever to connect with others, Her advice is both intelligent and relevant. If you want to proactively attract smart support, help others in ways that are mutually meaningful, build powerful and empowering teams, collectively seize opportunities, and much more, I recommend Kare’s insightful work. — Dorie Clark
