FILL UP YOUR LIFE WITH CONNECTION
Whatever I call it, Life Coaching, Business Coaching, Executive Coaching, the challenges of my clients are the same. They are tired of the struggle. At the heart of most struggles is the ability to connect with others. When there’s connection in your life, even the most mundane task can be fulfilling.
So many people I run into have told me that is what they want; more connection, but they don’t have people in their life who they can connect with.
Here’s what I tell them. Make it your intention to connect with others not just those who you know and like. If you go to the bank call the teller by their first name. If you bring your clothes to the cleaner connect with the person behind the counter.
What I find fun is calling people with name tags by their name. Just this one little thing can make a big difference.
The checker at the grocery store is a good place to start. Let’s put it this way. If you want more connection in your life, be interested in the other person. Make it genuine. I remember when I was an attorney I was pretty good at engaging the other person. But it wasn’t from the heart like it is now.
It was where I started. Eventually that became a genuine interest and curiosity and is one of my strengths. I look forward to it. When I go the health store…it’s not just to buy something that I need but an entire experience.
