At a time when we are more physically distant than ever before—how can we reverse the growing trends of disconnection to forge meaningful connections in business and in life? Guest Susan McPherson is the author of THE LOST ART OF CONNECTING: The Gather, Ask, Do Method for Building Meaningful Business Relationships.
In the book Susan argues that we need to foster value-based connections by going back to basics. Technology she says, is a tool, not a means to an end. To forge lasting relationships, we need to reconnect with people as human beings—especially right now. Making a genuine connection sparks learning, knowledge sharing, reduces burnout, spurs innovation, and creates a sense of purpose and well-being. The book offers a practical three-step framework to harness our shared humanity and shape our interactions daily—whether on Zoom or in real life.
