Looking at the nezu shrine got me thinking of all the doors we walk through in life

Life is a series of doors.

We’re off to #Japan in October, and while researching places to visit, I came across the beautiful Nezu Shrine in #Tokyo.

Its pathway of red torii gates got me thinking about all the doors we walk through in life.

Birth. Childhood. Teenage years. Student. Career. Marriage. Family. Success. Failure. Celebration. Sadness. Retirement. And ultimately, passing on.

Some doors we choose.

Some are opened for us.

Some close before we’re ready.

And some lead us somewhere we never imagined.

When we’re young, we ask:

“What door will open for me next?”

As we get older, perhaps the more important question becomes:

“What doors can I open for others?”

An introduction. An opportunity. A friendship. A helping hand. A second chance.

Because maybe that’s legacy:

Not the doors we walked through.

The doors we opened for others.

Can’t wait to walk through the gates of Nezu Shrine in October.

The Referron Live Think Tank Playbook

WHEN	WHAT TO DO	ACTION / OUTCOME
BEFORE THE EVENT	Create a brilliant Referron Card	Add your photo, contact details, website/socials and clearly state your Superpower — what you are brilliant at and who you help.
	Set your goal	Complete: 1 person I will introduce | 1 introduction I need | Follow-up required | I will complete this by…
	Make it accountable	Every introduction should have mutual permission, an owner and a deadline.
IN THE BREAKOUT ROOM	Your 2–3 minute share	Share one insight from the Knowledge Share, then clearly state: Outcome I want | Capability I require | Exact referral I need.
WHILE EACH PERSON SPEAKS	Add them to your Referron Rolodex	Send them your Referron Card so their card is added to your connections.
	Think: Who can I introduce them to?	Search your connections and contacts for someone who can help them achieve their stated outcome.
	Make the warm introduction	Go to their Referron Card → select Refer/Introduce → connect them with the right person → add a personal note explaining why they should meet.
AFTER THE BREAKOUT	Follow up	Follow up every introduction and connection made AND received.
	Send a personal  message	SMS, WhatsApp or email each person. Use a Referron message template or create your own.
THE RESULT	Turn conversations into outcomes	Connect → Introduce → Follow Up → Track → Create Opportunity.

The breakout room rule

Don’t leave with a list of people you met. Leave with introductions made, introductions received, owners and deadlines.

The goal is simple: every person leaves Referron Live with meaningful warm introductions that can create a real outcome.
