It's more important now than ever to connect with others. Whether you are an introvert or extrovert, we all desire meaningful connections and relationships.
As someone who works with Leaders and Teams to help them get along better with customers and co-workers through better communication, people skills, interpersonal relationships and emotional intelligence, I find this is the key to a positive, productive and profitable work culture. www.arnoldsanow.com -

As we get back into regular work routines what is i
mportant is a "sense of belonging." It's important to remember it's everyone's job to help make everyone feel included. When you have an inclusive workplace, you will see fewer conflicts, better cooperation, higher productivity, and retention of employees and customers. You need to give yourself permission to connect and become a conscious connector.
In every connection, Conscious Connectors look for golden opportunities: to engage others, be attentive, relate to and serve their needs, support them, lift them out of ordinary experiences in unexpected ways, bring them joy, make them feel valued, and more. Enduring impressions are created by their commitment to bring their best to every situation; doing so often brings out the best in others as well.
Whether spontaneous or carefully constructed, conscious connectors enrich the experiences of others; the impressions created by them endure. They fully recognize that without a firm commitment to personal excellence and positive intent, their connections would become susceptible to the ravages of indifference. They know these consequences would be deadly to their vitality as well as the vibrancy of their interactions. Lethargy and apathy are fatal to relationships.
Conscious Connectors are the movers and shakers, the diplomats, and the determined - the ones who make relationships extraordinary in whatever role they play. They see the possible in the improbable, and the best in the worst, and above all, they are committed to building quality connections and getting along. They're masters at maneuvering their way through the connection zone.
People love to be around Conscious Connectors because wherever they go, they lift spirits, improve morale, increase support, generate cooperation, and command respect. Those who effectively tap their connecting power, whether for personal or professional purposes, are often celebrated for their abilities to:
* Lead and inspire others
* Put their passion into action
* Encourage a higher level of performance
* Communicate their ideas effectively
* Have their plans accepted more easily
* Create an atmosphere of safety for discussing concerns
* Reach agreements faster and more satisfactorily
* Work in greater harmony
* Serve as agents of change
* Motivate others to work toward established goals
* Gain the respect, admiration, trust, and loyalty of others
They are skilled at harnessing these abilities to their connecting power. In their careers, their excellent interpersonal skills often mean they:
* Move ahead more rapidly
* Command excellent compensation and receive bonuses
* Acquire professional recognition and visibility
* Network with and gain access to influential people
When you're passionate about making your connections click, you don't sit on the sidelines waiting for others to take the initiative -- you get busy clicking and get busy connecting! You move into action building a network of engaging encounters, often leaving a wake of surprised and delighted people as you pass through life. Whether with friends, family, or business associates, you're always cooking up ways to surprise, delight, encourage, support, and appreciate. It works wonders everywhere!
