How To Connect With Someone When You Have No Time
Human connection doesn’t have to be lengthy. Every conversation holds the potential to touch a life, to inspire a dream, or to bolster someone’s confidence. Just a few minutes, or even 30 seconds, can bridge the gap between strangers and make someone’s day a little better. And when in doubt, use my favorite go-to question: “What do you love about [topic]?” It virtually guarantees they will begin talking about their values and beliefs. So next time you meet someone, remember it’s not about the length of the interaction, but the depth and quality of the connection you create.
How I Handled A Roomful Of Crushing Judgment
This was a mistake. I’m standing backstage scanning the audience with the intensity of a serial killer. Ordinarily I’d be over-the-moon at the opportunity to speak in front of such an energetic and welcoming audience. But this is different.

It was a powerful reminder that sometimes we don’t have to do any outrageous to make a dent in the universe. We just have to be present, understanding, and kind.
Why Small Business Owners Actually Fail to Connect with Customers
Why do so many entrepreneurs and business owners fail to connect with customers? You’ve got a brilliant idea and a unique solution that doesn’t exist in the marketplace. You’re better, faster, or cheaper than the competition. Yet, your ideal customers or clients just don’t get it. And because they don’t get it, they don’t want it, and won’t buy it. What’s going on here? That’s what Tijana Buric asked me on her podcast Career Alchemist, where I was recently honored to be a guest.
