Where Access Tests Outcomes -> I just wrapped twelve days of high-impact meetings:
Ronnie Kinsey, MBA
October 21, 2025
Welcome to Leading Greats, my Tuesday weekly newsletter.
Here I offer actionable leadership, business, and personal development insights and tools from my decades of experience as a learner, leader, and high-performance coach.
It’s been a priceless accumulation. I am pleased to share this with you.
Who was there? Founders. Investors. Leaders across industries with a tech angle.
Every room was led by outsized proof. Potential everywhere.
Thousands of sharp, fast-moving people.
Each shaping what’s next.
In that kind of pace, connection becomes a performance test.
Every introduction carries a decision - remember, or be forgotten.
How you prepare decides which side you’re on.
The ever-ready professional always brings something to exchange.
A conversation means little if it can’t continue.
That’s where readiness separates presence from potential.
I’ve built over 200,000 followers on LinkedIn.
Years of consistent contribution and visible results.
That’s my digital handshake.
But when Wi-Fi drops, or routers slow under pressure,
access becomes the real test.
You might have two to five minutes.
Sometimes only thirty seconds.
And the right conversation could change your year.
Here’s what worked for me:
I carry a few analog business cards.
Each printed with a QR code linking to my LinkedIn, website, and Leading Greats hub.
Simple. Fast. Human.
That small card sits behind my clear phone case.
Visible to anyone interested nearby.
If the connection drops, a quick snapshot saves the details.
No lost momentum.
No forgotten contact.
Across those twelve days, I heard it often - “That’s brilliant.”
Someone called me “an epic networker.”
I smiled. “Not exactly. I’m a Connection Architect™.”
The difference?
Networkers collect.
Connection Architects™ convert.
They move from potential to progress.
They make follow-up frictionless.
And they stay remembered long after the crowd thins.
The system I use to Turn Access Into Outcomes.
The Connect-Working™ Protocol:
1️⃣ Start with Curiosity™.
Be interested to learn, not to perform.
Gather insight that reveals relevance and shared value.
2️⃣ Frame with Access™.
Shape introductions around outcomes and a clear target base.
Let time reveal what and when next may develop.
3️⃣ Design for Recall™.
Use a visible QR or quick link that signals readiness.
Have analog backup ready.
4️⃣ Prioritize Outcomes™.
Turn brief exchanges into next steps that carry potential for momentum.
5️⃣ Stay Present™.
Not every conversation continues - and that’s fine.
Relevance sorts itself in high-volume spaces.
6️⃣ Deliberate Follow Through™.
Within 48 business hours, reconnect with context.
A short, thoughtful note converts a moment into traction.
Connection isn’t luck. It’s logistics paired with presence.
Most people leave great rooms with blurred names and missed opportunities.
The prepared leave with traction.
Access favors readiness.
Attention rewards clarity.
Momentum follows those who make connection effortless.
That’s the real ROI of connect-working.
Access that turns into opportunity.
Conversations that lead to collaboration.
And impressions that last long after the Wi-Fi fades.
