We lack civility in our communications, and we’ve lost the habit of working together. This limits productivity, costs billions of dollars in wasted time, and even threatens our ability to find political solutions to major national problems.
Fortunately, we can fix it!
CONNECT! shows you how to quickly develop relationships that allow you to work well with others and accomplish important shared goals. You’ll learn to enhance collaboration between colleagues and teams, use networking to meet people quickly (and enjoy it!), onboard new employees effectively, and learn to handle situations when people don’t respond positively.
There has never been a more important time to connect with each other.
Social distancing is absolutely vital during this dangerous pandemic as there are only a few ways to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Number one, of course, is staying home, and staying away from others. Washing hands, wiping down surfaces, wearing a mask or mouth covering when going out, and getting tested and treated if you are sick are also keys to stopping this menace.
But there’s another sickness we need to watch out for: Loneliness.
You are a leader. Whether you are a manager or not, you have the ability to take action, right now, to make your world and the people in it, better.
This could be you going to the supermarket or drug store and checking in with neighbors to see if they need anything (besides toilet paper). It could be calling relatives, friends, colleagues, and those who may not have people checking in with them. It could be you seeing something wrong in your neighborhood or at work and taking action to see it fixed.
