•pop their head up a little, but quickly go back
•nervous / cautious
•no purposeful activity
‘meerkats’....
@andyhanselman @jilltywhite
•basic presence in some networks
•no attempt to develop a focused approach
• like the ‘new and shiny’
•don’t ‘see things through’
‘magpies’....
@andyhanselman @jilltywhite
‘monkeys’.... •more committed to networking
•strong presence in some networks,
•focus is on activity, not purpose
•need to stand still and be more strategic

•the ‘kings’ of the networking jungle!
•a recognised ‘presence’ in their chosen networks
•not just attending, but engaging
•positively contribute and influence things
‘lions’....
