EVERYONE COMMUNICATES BUT FEW CONNECT

It isn’t experience; it isn’t talent. If you want to succeed, you must learn how to connect with people.

And while it may seem like some people are just born with it, the fact is anyone can learn how to

make every communication an opportunity for a powerful connection. If you can connect with

others, one-on-one, in groups, and with an audience – your sense of community improves, your

ability to create team work increases, and your influence skyrockets. People who connect with

others have better relationships, experience less conflict, and get more things done than those who

cannot connect.
