Mastering The Art Of Connection

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

The single most important skill that you will ever need is not one that is explicitly taught to you, yet it’s ranked #1 in determining how long you will live along with being responsible for your happiness in your personal and work life. The ability I am referring to is connection. To be clear, I’m not talking about a connection that you make on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter from behind a computer screen or iPhone. I define connection as a trusting, authentic, meaningful interaction that gives energy to another person.

So, why does it matter so much? Simply think about the most defining moments and important relationships in your life. These things all happened because of a deeper connection with another person. Connection makes people feel seen, heard, and felt. That’s something all of us want. In order to experience these relationships, we need to give as much as we take. Today I’m taking you on a journey where you will learn how to take your connection factor to the next level and make a bigger impact in return.

In this episode I share:

  • The data and research-proven benefits of connection 
  • My 4 observations of connection based on personal experience and science
  • Ideas to deepen your connection with ease
  • How to eliminate the barriers to connection

Your Team Is Better When You Talk Less

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Did you know that we only remember about 25-50% of what we hear? It may be surprising, but the research shows it’s true. It’s clear that listening is a skill we can all benefit from improving. I’m sure you’ve been in a conversation when it’s obvious the other person isn’t actually listening to you. It doesn’t feel good. On the flip side, are you conscious when you are doing this to others?

One of the most immediate ways you can care for and serve the person right in front of you, is to listen. In fact, actively being heard is one of the greatest gifts we can give another. Powerful connections are made when we have these authentic interactions. 

I don’t need to tell you that listening builds our relationships and deepens our connections to everyone – our kids, spouse, coworker, team, you name it. The problem is most of us don’t realize how weak we are at it. After you listen to this episode you will understand why I am passionate about this topic. I share a personal story of a wake up call I got on an international stage-front and how it forced me to realize my own listening skills needed improvement.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why actively listening is a valuable skill 
  • Several ways you can deliberately improve your own active listening skills 
  • The insightful  benefits of becoming a better listener at work and at home
  • Questions you can ask to accurately evaluate yourself as an active listener
