“Can you tell me exactly why you want to connect?”

My work in Pharmaceutical Drug Development and Manufacturing requires a fair amount of effort in connecting to others via LinkedIn. What I love most is the “why are you contacting me” reply. This allows me to make digital communication real and further an honest dialogue. It could work, or it could not. It's up to us to take a leap-of-faith to foster new and meaningful connections. The next time you get an invitation, take the chance and give the chance to connect.

I’m curious, has a leap of faith conversation impacted your career?
