Change of Direction
In another country, I met with the producer of a weekly Youth Programme aired on national TV. He was reconsidering the continuity of this programme which was an increasing challenge for him in his current situation.
As I had just recently visited 5 video-production companies in the UK, I suggested he might like to consider partnering with one or more of them and thus sharing the load of producing the weekly Youth Programmes. He thought this a good idea. His brother was visiting the UK in a week or two on business and he would ask him to contact the companies I had mentioned.
I then heard nothing more until a few years later when I met one of the video producers in the UK. As I entered his studio-office, he thanked me profusely for introducing him to this TV programme producer overseas. I had no idea of the developments that had taken place. In fact, the Youth Programme producer had finally decided to close the programme and had donated much of his equipment to my friend in the UK.
This equipment has since been much used in the production of key educational material in Europe. A good example of one link leading to another and resulting in the enhancement of ongoing projects.
All in a day's life of a networker...
