Connecting

The other day I was on the phone discussing an important subject with an individual when I realized we were no longer connected. Somewhere in the conversation the call was dropped because of low signal. That can be so frustrating. Being disconnected wastes your time and theirs. This subject of making a connection with individuals is a very important topic. It’s more than communication. It’s being able to interact and engage with an individual. Here are some things I’ve learned over the years toward making an engaging connection.

  1. Start with your attitude. Desire to add value toward the individual.
  2. Communicate in such way they feel valued and add value through edification.
  3. Spend time toward listening to the individual.
  4. Be authentic without an agenda. A heart to serve and love them. Be sincere.
  5. Share ideas. Learn and discover.
  6. Celebrate their success and accomplishments.
  7. Convey a since of energy, enthusiasm and respect to them.
  8. Smile. Be real. Laugh together.
  9. Inspire them.
Hebrews 10:24-25   Let us see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out each other. Worship together and spur each other on.
