\"Book<\/p>\n

The path to winning — at life, in relationships, and in business\u00a0—\u00a0is not solitary.\u00a0 Now more than ever, connecting with other people on an authentic level is both an important skill and it\u2019s the\u00a0new currency for success.\u00a0 When you know how to connect with others on a meaningful level, your personal and professional life will prosper.<\/p>\n

These three practical steps build authentic connections in your personal life, workplace, and the corners of the world.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Be Courageous<\/strong>. To create an authentic connection, be willing to take risks and be vulnerable.\u00a0 Connectors are fearless individuals who are comfortable putting their whole self out there and having the world accept or reject who they are. Being courageous requires boldly proclaiming who you are, and who you are not. Remember, the world belongs to those who stand out.<\/li>\n
  2. Be Open<\/strong>. In the business world, there is the teaching on holding your cards closely to guard against those who seek to undermine your efforts.\u00a0 This thinking stymies creativity and the willingness to share knowledge.\u00a0 Making the leap from being self-protective to being open and walking with daily integrity requires a change in mindset along with the creation of new habits.<\/li>\n
  3. Be a Willing Sharer<\/strong>. The power of connections exists because of a special group of individuals willing to leverage who they know to open doors for others. There is a difference between those who seek to build a network and those who connect, seeking to make a positive impact on their community and the world.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Genuine connections are personal and involve a conscious choice to build common ground with the soulful purpose of serving others.<\/p>\n

    Do as Oscar Wilde said and, \u201cBe yourself\u2026Everyone else is taken.\u201d<\/p>\n
