Managing the Power of Connection

Managing the Power of Connection

Over time, we have talked about an “invisible power” some people seem to possess. We have identified this power as the power of connection.

How we manage this power of connection can literally be the difference between winning and losing, success and failure.

In my years as a United States Navy SEAL (and in the years since), I have at times drawn on the power of connection to help me get through some very dark, depressing and challenging times. These hardships have tested me mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually and without the power of connection in my life, I would have most likely given up and been defeated.

What we get from others and what we give to others will largely determine the course of our lives.

We can’t master people, but we can become a master at how we choose to deal with the people we encounter daily.

When we can harness this power of connection, we will begin to reach new heights and accomplish much more than we ever thought was possible.
