Internationally renowned author, speaker, and leadership expert John Maxwell was recently in Lexington for an event that the UK Alumni Association helped promote. It was great to see so many fellow UK alumni from several different industries represented at the conference. There also was a youth leadership track where UK and high school students participated in sessions led by Dr. Tim Elmore.
Dr. Maxwell shared from his recent leadership book Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: What The Most Effective People Do Differently. His presentation was an excellent reminder that success is really just being able to connect with other people. Similar to networking, we need to be conscious of other people and how we can help them. We are either a plus or a minus, adding to or subtracting from relationships. Essentially, connecting is more about character and relationships. The following are some suggested tips for connecting. Be available and open for others. In getting to know someone new, ask them questions. Be conscious of what you can do to help others. Create experiences that make time with others more enjoyable.
If you are not already a fan, consider reading a few of Dr. Maxwell's leadership books to help with your own professional growth and development.
