Key relationships require intentionality.
A couple of days ago, I had breakfast with Michael Perdunn, Sr. Director at OakTruss Group and an alumnus of AIM Institute’s IT Leadership Academy (now Elevate Academy).
Michael and I go back to our time at Omaha Public Power District, and over the years we’ve stayed connected in simple ways—weekend soccer, the occasional breakfast, and the occasional WhatsApp message. Nothing elaborate. Just intentional.
Those small touchpoints matter more than we realize.
Our conversation focused on ideas aligned with AIM Institute’s Vision 2030 and our theme . It reminded me that the relationships we nurture over time often become the ones that help us reimagine, rebuild, and move forward together.
As Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, once said:
“The fastest way to change yourself is to hang out with people who are already the way you want to be.”
Grateful for the friendship, the conversation, and the shared commitment to strengthening our community.
At the end of each year’s final quarter, take some time to reflect on every connection, contact, and interaction you’ve had over the past months. It's a great opportunity to evaluate whether each relationship has added value or if it’s time to let go, helping you make clear decisions about where to focus your energy moving forward.
What traditions or routines have you put in place over the years to build a meaningful circle that propels you into each new year or season of life?
