Get CONNECTED

"All is connected... no one thing can change by itself."
-  Paul Hawken 
American environmentalist, entrepreneur, and author.
(b. 1946)
A lot of people network, or meet people regularly, and yet how many of them, how many of us, are really CONNECTED?  In order to learn from others and from experiences, it is important to make that true connection.

CONNECTED people are, do. and/or have the following:
C - Care 
O - Offer ideas 
N - Notice people 
N - Notice things & situations 
E - Engage others to learn 
C - Create relationships that are mutually beneficial 
T - Tell of wins 
E - Entertain, and even expect feedback 
D - Decide to engage each day in many ways 

To be truly effective, this all has to be, and therefore, you have to be sincere, consistent, and filled with the desire to make a difference...not for the superficial contacts, rather, for the real connection
